Protect against accidental deletions and overwrites of text
I've used track changes quite a bit before but its limitation seems to be
this: if you delete or overwrite text that is currently markup text (ie waiting to be accepted by you) then you lose it for good. So it only seems good for protecting text that has already been accepted. I would love to have a macro or some other method that allows me to check all deletions (markup and non markup text) before I accept them. One workaround I suppose would be to save a version every time I close down but this won't catch everything (and besides it seems to slow documents down over time?) |

Protect against accidental deletions and overwrites of text
I guess you could change your user name when you want to revise your
revisions. Word will then think another user editing the document and preserve all changes. Your user name can be found in Tools/Options/User Information. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email can not be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Co-author of Word 2007 Inside Out: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/boo...x#AboutTheBook Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Steve" wrote in message ...
