Track changes mislabels my changes
I'm using Word 2007 and have found that when I make formatting changes to
text (highlighting, underlining, changing from nonbold to bold or vice versa, etc.), the change indicated in the markup area will initially be correct, but when I save my changes, close the document, and reopen it, those labels will have changed. The actual formatting changes in the document remain correct, but the changes listed in the markup area are frequently very different. For example, if I simply make a word bold, the listed markup may say "Font: 10 pt., Bold, No underline, Font color: Auto." This is an actual example of what has happened. This is a problem because when others are looking at the work I've done, they are unable to see what changes I've actually made without having to refer to an original version of the document. If I try to reject the changes listed in the markup area, the text gets really weird, changing color, size, bold/not bold, etc. Has anyone else had these problems, and do you have any advice as to how to fix them? Thank you. |

Hi ?B?T25laG5kY2xwcG5n?=,
I'm using Word 2007 and have found that when I make formatting changes to text (highlighting, underlining, changing from nonbold to bold or vice versa, etc.), the change indicated in the markup area will initially be correct, but when I save my changes, close the document, and reopen it, those labels will have changed.

If I try to reject the changes listed in the markup area, the text gets really weird, changing color, size, bold/not bold, etc. Has anyone else had these problems, and do you have any advice as to how to fix them? I wonder if this document is updating the styles from its template when it opens? If you go to the Developer tab, click the Document template button, is "Automatically update document styles" activated?

"Automatically update document styles" is not activated. Should it be? What
will this do? Thank you for your answer.

Hi ?B?T25laG5kY2xwcG5n?=,
"Automatically update document styles" is not activated. Should it be? What will this do? No, do not activate it. This will pick up the style definitions from the template that is attached to the document. If changes have been made in the styles or formatting, this could result in changing them back to the template "defaults". That's why I thought it might be the cause of what you're seeing. Beyond that, I'm out of ideas. Never seen anything like it... Mmmm. Unless you have a macro attached that's overwriting formatting (making sure the formatting is correct by applying formatting properties) when the document opens or when it closes.
