How do you edit changes using multiple colors to track each edit
For example, a user is reviewing a word document that already has edits.
These edits are in red. He wants to change part of this existing edit and have his change reflect another color. So within the orginal edit, there would be 2 colors, one in red which is the original edit and his edit of the original edit, in blue. Does word have this capability? We are currently using the highlight function as a workaround. |

How do you edit changes using multiple colors to track each edit
If you set change marking (under Tools Options Track Changes) to be 'By
Author' then each user's changes will be in a different colour. A User in this context is determined solely by the name set under Tools Options User Information. With appropriate manipulation of this you can show different changes in different colours. The downside is that you have no choice over the colours - Word chooses them and I don't think anyone outside Microsoft understands how they are determined. -- Enjoy, Tony "apellet24" wrote in message news  For example, a user is reviewing a word document that already has edits.

Correction: I'm not sure most people *inside* Microsoft have any idea how
the colors are determined. -- Suzanne S.
