Not if you have selected "By Author." Then you're at Word's mercy.

So, each author's insertions and deletions show up in each author's color.

How do I change the color of a reviewer in track changes?
What do you mean by "By Author?" My problem is I have a document that I
worked on at home and the changes are in red. I emailed it to myself at work and started working on it, and the changes are, of course, green. I'd like them to be red so it looks as though both sets of changes are mine. Can you help? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Not if you have selected "By Author."

How do I change the color of a reviewer in track changes?
I am having issues with different users trying to edit a word document (Word
2003) and they are wanting to track changes. We would like to have each reviewer and editor to have their own color well it is coming up as one color for all editors. Any tips or ideas on how to get Word to do what we want it to do? I have also took away the by author color selection. Should that then activate the different colors for each editor?

How do I change the color of a reviewer in track changes?
The only way to get different colors for different editors is to use the By
Author setting, and when you do that, you have no choice of what color is assigned to which editor. Moreover, the colors will be different on different systems. That is, your edits may be red on your machine but blue on someone else's. The only thing that is guaranteed is that different colors will be used. -- Suzanne S.
