Make track changes to permanent COLORED text
Hi,
I have a document that has a lot of track changes. I want to convert these to regular colored text so that they still show up as a change but cannot be accidentally accepted or declined. I am using Word 2003. I tried edit and replace but that didn't work. Unless I didn't do it right. Is there any way to easily change the formatting of the track changes so that when they are accepted they show as colored text and not black text. Thanks. |

Make track changes to permanent COLORED text
Create a pdf With Markup. You can Show Insertions or Show Deletions.
But once you've Accepted the changes, they are not changes, they are part of the text. You could tag them all with a Character Style in a color.

Make track changes to permanent COLORED text
I can't create a pdf with markup. Our documents are done in templates and
the pdf macro is set to accept all track changes before it pdf's. Ultimately what I need is a pdf showing all the changes with bookmarks. The only way I know to do that is to have the changes be in colored text rather than as track changes. However, the document I have was heavily edited using track changes. I also want to change it to colored text so that no one can accidently accept or delete the changes. How would I tag them with a Character Style. I'm trying to look for a simple way to do this rather than applying to each individual change in the document. "grammatim" wrote: Create a pdf With Markup. You can Show Insertions or Show Deletions.

Then don't use the pdf macro! I don't know anything about Word2007,
but I understand it includes a "Save as pdf" option that would be somewhere in your Print dialog just like "Print to file" is. Track Changes has to involve some sort of hidden character styles that carry the color and strikethrough/underline information. Maybe there's some way to access them with macros or VBA.
