Default "Revisions" (Track Changes) mode ...

Hi Apu,

Needed some help in fulfulling a requirement to respond to an MS Word
2003 document, in the "Revisions (Track Changes) Mode" and in the color
"Magenta".

What exactly is this saying? Does this mean that any text that I add
to the document will appear in Magenta and underlined, with a
mouse-over tip showing my name, time stamp etc.?

Also, I can not find "Magenta" as one of the colors that I can make the
changes to appear in!

Would greatly appreciate how to get Magenta and a clear interpretation
of the requirement about the "Revisions (Track Changes) Mode".

It's not possible. Word offers only the limited 16 colors available in
the dropdown under Tools/Options/Track Changes. Magenta isn't one of
these, although Violet is.

Any chance these instructions were written for an earlier version of
Word, where the term "Magenta" was still used?
