Copy revision text to new document and retain marking?
Using Microsoft Word 2002 (10.6764.6735) SP3.
I have one document with revision text marked in it (additions and deletions). I want to move this text to another document and retain the revised text marked as it is in the original document. Seems like I've done this before, but it doesn't work now. If the second document has tracking turned on, all the moved text is marked as an addition (deleted text is gone). This is what I would expect. If the second document has tracking turned off, all the moved text is unmarked (deleted text is gone). This is not what I expected. Seems like before, it would copy over with the same markings. I've included paragraph marks with the move and included section marks with the move and see no difference. Also, when I move with the section marking, the default move is now "Match destination formating" instead of "Keep source formating." What do I need to do? Thanks for your help |

Save As to a copy of the entire document. Turn off tracked changes. Delete

Thanks, but....
This doesn't get this portion into my new document. I still need to cut and paste this into another document. Yes, I could do what you suggest and then cut and paste my new document into the modified old document - but - what if both documents have revisions marked into them and I want to perserve both markings? Eventually, I'll have to cut and paste one portion into another. Thanks for the workaround, but how can I get Word to do this on the straight? Thanks. "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ...

Okay, I remember now. I've done this before.
I can answer my own question. The trick is that the document that you want to copy from must have 'mark revisions' turned OFF and the document you want to copy into must have 'mark revisions' turned OFF. When you do this, the revision marking from the first document is carried to the second document as you cut and paste. It just took a few days away from the problem to figure it out.
