Thanks for the link - I guess I'm a "dismayed veteran user", according to
that site!
Hopefully when they get round to upgrading us to a newer version of Word,
I'll find that they've put this particularly quirk "back the way it was"; in
the meantime, I guess I'm resigned to marking my changes the old fashioned
way.
It all begs the question: Who, exactly, thought that the removal of a
perfectly good feature was a good idea?

I'm sorry. You are right; the introduction of the balloons added some
features to track changes, but removed others--including the choice to
hide deletions. :-(

But that's what I'm saying - in Word 2002 there isn't an option to
do so!

I'm running Word 2002 SP-2. I the previous version of Word that
I
ran, you
were able to specify in Track Changes that you didn't want
deletions
to be
marked. I'm editing a document now, and all I want to do is show
a
line down
the outside of the page for changes, but all it will let me do
for
deletions
is show them scored through or with balloons. Surely Microsoft
haven't made
the Track Changes feature less user friendly for Word 2002?
Looks like I'll either have to do it the old fashioned way and
draw
the
lines on with the cursor, or I'll have to bodge it by turning
off
Track
Changes to make my deletions, turning it back on again and
inserting
a space,
both of which will be exceedingly irritating and time consuming,
and
are in
my opinion quite a large step backwards.
Anybody know if I can highlight deletions with a line down the
side
of the
page only?
