How do I include revision markings when copying to another documen
In Word 2003, I have a document which includes revisions. I'd like to copy
parts of it into a second document, and include the revisions. But when I try to do this, the revision markings disappear in the second document. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. |

How do I include revision markings when copying to anotherdocumen
Assuming you're referring to Track Changes, turn OFF Track Changes in
the receiving document, and copy in your text that has changes in it. Then, when you set the dropdown to "Show Final With Markup," you'll see the changes even in the inserted text. (Show Changes is independent of whether Track Changes is on or off.) On Dec 7, 12:59*pm, Eric wrote: In Word 2003, I have a document which includes revisions.

How do I include revision markings when copying to another doc
Thanks very much for your help. Yes, I'm referring to Track Changes.
I've tried what you're suggesting, but without success so far. Let me tell you exactly what I'm doing: I open the original file. I turn on Final Showing Markup. I can see the revisions (strikeouts and underlined text). I Select All (control-A) and Copy (control-C). I create a new document. In the new document, Track Changes is off and Final Showing Markup is on. I Paste (control-V). I can see the new text, but not the strike-outs. I've also tried it by selecting Final view in the original document but there's no change. Any ideas?

How do I include revision markings when copying to another doc
What you just described is simply making a second copy of your
document, which would be accomplished a lot easier with Save As using a different filename. I don't know why it wouldn't work when copying an entire document; what I described works for inserting a passage with Tracked Changes into another document (which already contains text).

How do I include revision markings when copying to another doc
You're right that there's a simpler way to do this. But this is only part of
what I need to do. My goal is to take an existing file which someone has sent to me, which includes revisions (Track Changes), and to put it into a new template (not Normal), retaining the Track Changes. My understanding is that the one way to do this is to create a new document using the new template, and to copy-and-paste the original file into the new file. But when I do this, I lose the revisions. To isolate the problematic part, I tried it again using the Normal template, which is what I described to you step by step in my earlier message. But again, no luck. If you have another suggestion for accomplishing that task, I'd be pleased to hear it. Thanks.

How do I include revision markings when copying to another doc
What happens if you use the Organizer to switch to a different
template? Tools Templates and Add-Ins a button at the bottom of the panel whose name I don't remember (I don't have 2003 any more) On Dec 7, 5:06*pm, Eric wrote: You're right that there's a simpler way to do this.
