Track changes: Moves
There's an option under Track Changes to track "moves" (with double
underline/strikethrough in green). But when I move something, it simply appears as a deletion and an insertion. What gives? |

Track changes: Moves
Is your document in 97-2003 format? Then that explains why. Special marking
of €śmoves€ť is not supported in Word 2003 and earlier. You should see the marking of €śmoves€ť correctly in documents in 2007 format. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "grammatim" wrote: There's an option under Track Changes to track "moves" (with double underline/strikethrough in green).

According to http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...word-2007.aspx, "In Word 2007, Track Changes now includes 'move tracking'. If you cut a sentence or more from one location and paste it to another, it is tracked as a move and not as a deletion and insertion." The criterion is apparently "one sentence or more". This seems to be open to interpretation; for example, if I move a one-word heading including its paragraph mark, that's tracked as a move. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Track changes: Moves
I tried it with a paragraph. Not only did it wipe out the existing
Tracked Changes (simply presenting the final version as an insertion), it treated it as deleted and inserted.

Track changes: Moves
If there were _no tracked changes_ in the moved sentence, it changes
to green in both places when it's pasted. That's not useful! On May 30, 11:19*pm, grammatim wrote: I tried it with a paragraph.

Track changes: Moves: Major bug
Once something has been tracked as a Move, it cannot be rejected.
Selecting text that's green gives you the check and x for accept and reject, but they have no effect; attempting to drag a double- struckthrough passage simply gives the "This text is marked as deleted" message. The only way to undo a Move is via Undo -- and if some editing has been done since the move, it of course all goes away, too. I will therefore be unchecking "Keep track of moves" ...
