Macro to toggle "Balloons in Print & Web Layout"

Dear All

I'm trying to perform a very simple task: use a macro to toggle the
"Balloons in Print & Web Layout" option on and off (Tools->Options->Track
Changes).

But I can't find the property to do this. Recording a macro doesn't show it
up. After wading through reams of disjointed help pages and examples for
.RevisionsBalloonWidthType and other properties of View and
Applications.Options, I'm still none the wiser.

Could anyone tell me where to find the appropriate property or method please?

Cheers
Richard

To set Balloons to Always:
ActiveWindow.View.RevisionsMode = wdBalloonRevisions

To set Balloons to Never:
ActiveWindow.View.RevisionsMode = wdInLineRevisions
