Fourteen posts and what have we learned?
1. The "Track Moves" functionality in Microsoft Word 2007 only works under
very special circumstances. Some of the conditions under which it does *not*
work include: working with documents in compatibility mode; "moving" less
than a full sentence (or anything that Word doesn't recognise as a full
sentence); "moving" content that already contains tracked changes; "moving"
content when the option to "Keep Track of Moves" is not selected.
2. "Moves" can be accepted or rejected just like any other tracked change,
and additional edits made within "moved" content are tracked as well.
3. The "Track Moves" functionality in the latest version of Word 2007 isn't
perfect and doesn't always work the way one might expect it to. However, it
has been improved since it was first introduced, and it will probably
continue to be improved over time.
4. Like all of us CDR Gregory K. Maxey, formerly of the USN, makes
mistakes, but when he does at least he has the decency to admit that he's
made a mistake, atone for his error, and ask forgiveness.
5. Peter T. Daniels is still an arrogant, opinionated, pedantic, pig-headed
troll who causes more problems than he solves, researches his responses
poorly, refuses to admit when he's wrong, argues off the point in a pitiful
attempt to make himself look better, and generally makes this newsgroup an
unpleasant place to look for help.
6. In spite of all this, somehow JenC still managed to get an answer to her
question without getting caught up in all of the BS created by the
aforementioned troll. She showed remarkable patience, wasn't offended by the
mistakes others might have made whilst trying to help her, and (as yet)
hasn't flamed said troll for being so rude and arrogant in his last post to
her.
Questions that remain outstanding:
1. Who is 'Mr. Daniel'? (But then who really cares?)
2. What is the name of the village that is apparently still missing its
idiot?

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...word-2007.aspx)
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?
