Default Track changes - insertions and deletions

The appearance of tracked changes on any given machine is dependent on the
settings on that machine. There is no way you can change the settings on the
recipient's machine short of an AutoOpen macro in your document, and, if the
recipient actually allows the macro to run (which is unlikely), he may not
thank you for it!

I used this macro, great! There is only one problem...when I email a copy

of
the tracked document to someone it shows all deletions and additions in
violet, not additions underlined in blue and deletions struckthrough in

red.
How do I change the macro to email in the red and blue instead of violet.

I
am also running Word 2002. Thanks for any help you can give me.

As Lene has told you, these options are available in Word 2003 but not

in
Word 2002. When the new UI for Track Changes was introduced in Word

2002,
some of it wasn't as carefully thought out as it should have been, and

its
errors and omissions were corrected in Word 2003. It is possible to

change
its behavior through Registry edits, however; for a macro to do this,

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?
