Press Alt followed by W for the view ribbon bar, and then press E which is the letter for draft layout.

Cc: Kimber Gardner Subject: Re: Shortcuts for track changes in Word Kevin, Yes, this would be the view and you could change it by going to the view tab. In Word 2013, and I think 2010 as well, alt+W will get you to the view tab. Then use your tab key to move through the possible views. Whichever view you are defaulting to will be checked. I hope this helps.
