Can I change reviewer names/color codes in track changes?
I'm reviewing and editing a Word document, and using Track Changes to
indicate my work. After I started I wanted to change the way my name appeared in the markup reviewer panes and the color that was automatically used to indicate my changes. By changing my "user information" I can get my name to appear the way I want it for new changes that I make, but that doesn't change anything for my previous changes. Is there any way to do this? Also by changing my "user information" the program assigns a new color code for my newly inputed user information, but again it is assigned automatically and seemingly there is no way to choose the specific color that I want? Can this be done? How? |

Can I change reviewer names/color codes in track changes?
As far as I know there isn't anything you can do about the colours used when
changes are flagged 'by author'. If you only have a few changes you can always reverse the changes under the old name and redo them under the new but if there are too many changes for that you can change the reviewer name using the script editor ... Press Alt+Shift+F11, search for the old name and replace it with the new name at appropriate places. This may not be straightforward and you may need to examine what is found to determine if it should be changed - it helps if you can read markup but, even if not, you should be able to manage it. Note that Word will remember the colour used for the original user name. -- @`} "CRR" wrote in message ... I'm reviewing and editing a Word document, and using Track Changes to indicate my work.
