Default Tracked changes: show as "moved" instead of inserted/deleted

Is there a way to get Word 2007 to show a moved sentence as "moved", instead

When I googled this I found an old post from the MS Word team's blog
(http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...6/10/13/nice-m...)
that seemed to say this was the case. However, when I try it (moving an
entire sentence to another position in the same paragraph), it still marks it
as an insertion/deletion. Did they remove this feature?


JenC,

Since your post makes it clear that you have done some research about
this feature I will risk assuming that have it turned on and that you
have attempted to move complete sentences so I won't waste your time
with questions.

Previously when Mr. Danilels asked about this very same feature and
behavior he provided no hint whatsover, that he may have it turned on
or that he had attempted to move entire sentences. He answered a
similiar question with a terse "Of course!"

It is perfectly understandable if you find his smug and arrogant
techniques offensive.

I feel that Micorsoft could have done a better job with with because
if the sentence you are trying to move contains unaccepted changes
then the move will be marked as an insertion at the new location. If
you first accept changess in the sentence you going to move, then the
move will be moved accordingly. Not ideal, but that's the way it is.

Good luck.
