Who has assumed that they know all? Who has assumed that Microsoft never
fixes problems introduced with new features? Who has assumed that since
they once experienced a problem with a feature and learned something about
its behavior in the process that they could then pontificate on its
workings and shortcomings? In view of the assumptions you have posted here
one may conclude that it is U in ASSUME after all.
Do you ever check your assumptions posted as facts? Apparently not.
Cheers.

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

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.
