Default Track changes - insertions and deletions

In Word 2003, you can set different colors for insertions, deletions, etc.
However, in Word 2002, you can set only one color _per user_ for all types of
revisions (if Color is set to "By author"), or one color for all users (the
other Color options).

I think the only way you can obtain what you want in Word 2002 is to set the
Color to €śBy author€ť and change your user name (Tools Options User
Information tab) so that you use one name when inserting text and another
when deleting text. Even though macros could be used to quickly change the
name it may not be an appropriate solution.

Thanks. What I'm wanting though is to use two different colours - one for
insertions and one for deletions. Do you know if this is possible, or is
there only the one-colour option for both?

red, and deletions by strikethrough in blue?
Thanks.
