Tracking changes by different reviewers in diff colors?
You were correct--thanks!

I am working on a document edited by someone else--their comments appear in
blue, and mine appear in red (both show up with different initials).
However,
when I save the document, both sets of comments change to blue, and my
comments "lose" my initials.
Any idea what's going on?

The "Author" is determined by the name in the Name field on the User

Customer (don't laugh, I've seen this more times than I want to recall)
in
that field, then you'll appear to be the same person.

Thanks Suzanne. I tried that approach, but changes tracked for another
reviewer and my changes keep showing up in the same color. I received
the
draft from the other reviewer. It seems as if we're both being treated
as
the same reviewer. Is there a different way she should send her
version
to
me?
Thanks for your timely response.

Just
be
aware that the colors are assigned randomly, so a given reviewer is
not
linked to a specific color.

Hi.
Is there a way to track the changes of different reviewers in
different
colors or to somehow distinguish by source? Perhaps a related
question
is
how do I add another reviewer to the list?
Thanks!
Dennis
