Word Tables and Track Changes
Hello,
I'm encountering unexpected results when using Word Tables and Track Changes. I am using Word 2002 SP-2 on a Windows XP platform. I have regular text containing Track Changes markup. I TURN OFF track changes (but do not resolve the markup). I then select that text, copy it to the clip board and paste it into a different location within the document, the newly created text does retain the track changes markup (EXPECTED). If I have a table containing Track Changes markup, TURN OFF track changes (again, I do not resolve the markup). I select that table, copy it to the clip board and paste it into a different location within the document, the newly created table DOES NOT retain the track changes markup (NOT EXPECTED). If I have regular text and a table containing Track Changes markup, TURN OFF track changes, select both the text and table, copy it to the clip board and paste it into a different location within the document, the newly created text AND table DO retain the track changes markup (EXPECTED). Why does the "Just Table" scenario not work as expected? Clare |

Hi Clare
I can reproduce this problem, but I have no idea what causes it, and I can't think of a work-around. I guess we'll all just have to remember to select a paragraph mark before or after the table if we want to copy tracked changes in a table into a new document. In any case, I'll add your observations to the article at How does Track Changes in Microsoft Word work? http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
