Searching on Who has Made Changes to a Document
We have numerous documents that are edited by several people, all documents
have the edit tracker active. All the people appear to be using the same colour to track these edits making it dificult to determine who is changing what. My questions is that how can I search for a particular user who has edited this document, bearing in mind that some documents are several hundred pages in size |

Searching on Who has Made Changes to a Document
The color choices are those of the person viewing the document. You can set the 'by author' color attribute.
In Word 2007 use Review Tab=Tracking Group=Track Changes=Change Tracking Option In Word 2003 use Tools=Track Changes and Show=Options from the Reviewing toolbar Word marks the revisions using a hidden 'mailtoreviewername)' link in the document. I don't recall that you can search or walk through changes by a specific reviewer/author name within a combined, multi-author document without using a macro. ============= "Frustrated" wrote in message ...

What if you set "Show" to show only one of the reviewers at a time,
and then use the Next Change arrow? On Jun 6, 8:16*am, "Bob Buckland ?:-\)" 75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com wrote: The color choices are those of the person viewing the document.

Hi grammatim,
Yep That would work. Thank you for catching that. In rereading the original question it's not clear if the goal is to search the changes, or to see if a particular person has made changes, but (Word 2007) Review Tab=Show Markup=Reviewers (Word 2003) Tools=Track Changes then Show=Reviewers on the Track Changes Toolbar should work. It was the 'how to search' I was focused on too much ============== "grammatim" wrote in message ...

I only recently discovered that the Customize Toolbars device has
separate buttons for "Next Change" and "Next Comment" -- much more useful than the out-of-the-box button that gives "Next Change or Comment." ("Previous" too, of course.)
