Mr. Daniels,
Do you ever check your facts? Here you are foaming at the mouth over what I
might or might not know about track moves and you post:
"...and if, after you do a tracked Move you decide you don't want the
passage moved, you can't Reject the move with the Reject button, and if you
change something in a Moved sentence, the change will not
be Tracked."
You're wrong Mr. Daniels. Continue in your arguments as you like, you are
still wrong and as arrogant about it as ever.
Cheers.

That is _precisely_ the thread, _initiated by me_, in which I asked a
question similar to JenC's, and the "of course not!" replied to
someone wondering whether I was using a document that was not in
Word2007 format.
And I did not choose then for google groups to display my name as
grammatim, and I did not choose now for google groups to display my
name as Peter T. Daniels. That behavior was not under my control.
Treating a moved sentence as an insertion+deletion rather than as a
green Move is _precisely_ the behavior that would be seen if "Track
Moves" had _not_ been selected (and "Track Moves" is not selected by
default). JenC reported that she had _seen a discussion_ of "Move" and
thus knew that it existed. She did not indicate that she knew she
needed to turn it on to see what would happen.
Admit it, Cdr. (Ret.) Maxey, your irrational compulsion to stalk and
harass me overcame whatever knowledge you may have had of the "Move"
feature, forcing you to post a superfluous (and, in its last
paragraph, if anyone bothered to read past the diatribe, redundant)
paragraph, just to hear yourself vent -- and all because you won't
admit that it was inappropriate to post a rude remark in response to
an innocent question.

My what diatribe. So let's see Mr. Daniels, you now ASSUME to know
what I
wish for.
While completely immaterial, not only are you ignorant concerning my
wishes,
you are also ignorant about the host service for my website. Despite
what
you think you know, the Micorosoft MVP program and MVPS.org are not
the
same. Considering the ignorance you typically display in this forum,
outside your extremely limited range of language expertise, one could
conclude that you are simply ignorant.
I made no claim that you had never tried Track Moves. Quite the
contrary.
I said that when you once posted about problems with the same
feature you
made a terse reply when someone else responded to your post with a
question.
You seek a reference? Seek no
further::http://groups.google.com/group/micro...cmanagement/br...
If you are honest you will not deny that was you when you posted and
hid
behind the clown's name "grammatim."
You took offense then at Ms. Fredborg's rhetorical question. So why
do you
adopt a manner that you find offensive when you asked your rhetorical
questions here? I know why and so do you. It's your unbridled
arrogance
and smug sense of superiority.
Considering JenC's statement and question, your first two questions
were
simply stupid.
"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?"
Or is it you that has comprehension difficulties? Or did you just
skip over
that part as is often the case considering your habit of "ASSUMING"
that
everyone who posts an original question here is a complete imbecile
or "newbie?"
Happy spankings ;-)

When you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U.
You see, JenC, Cdr. (U.S.N., ret.) Gregory K. Maxey wishes he were
still in a position to boss people around (and even though he
resigned his "commission" from the MVP program, his webpage is
still hosted there), and has limited ability to comprehend the
questions that people actually ask, but instead looks for any
opportunity to do what he calls "spank" _me_. And why this
vendetta? Because, nearly two years ago, he responded to a question
on this newsgroup with a rude remark, I "spanked" him by wondering
whether rude remarks were appropriate from someone in the
positionof MVP, and he demanded that I apologize for calling him
out on making a rude remark.
Note that he further ASSUMEs that I have never tried the (seriously
deficient) "Track Moves" "feature" (actually bug) in Word2007, and
moreover (having provided no reference) apparently invented a
fictional response supposed to have been made by me.
Since Cdr. (Ret.) Maxey seems not to have understood your question,
I'll respond even more explicitly, entirely for his benefit.
If you have "Track Moves" turned on in the Track Changes Options,
then the moved material will appear in green double strikethrough
in the old position, and in green double underline in the new
position (unless you've changed those parameters). HOWEVER, if you
try to Move less than a full sentence; or if you try to Move even a
full sentence that already contains tracked changes, you will not
get a tracked Move; and if, after you do a tracked Move you decide
you don't want the passage moved, you can't Reject the move with
the Reject button, and if you change something in a Moved sentence,
the change will not be Tracked.

Is there a way to get Word 2007 to show a moved sentence as
"moved", instead of as a deletion and subsequent insertion
elsewhere?
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.
