Word 2003 - Tracked Changes
In Word 2000 it's possible to display and print tracked changes using just
the vertical bar in the margin (by hiding deletions and colouring insertions black). I can't work out how to do this in Word 2003 because I can't hide the deleted text and still show the inserted text. Can anyone help please? |

Word 2003 - Tracked Changes
In the Track Changes options dialog, set the inserted text format to Color
Only and set the color to Auto or Black. Set the deleted text format to Hidden (the color doesn't matter). If that doesn't work for you, describe exactly what you see in each box of the dialog, and what happens in the text when you click OK. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. chippy2 wrote: In Word 2000 it's possible to display and print tracked changes using just the vertical bar in the margin (by hiding deletions and colouring insertions black).

Hi Jay
Thanks for your reply. My Track Changes options dialog box does not have any options for formatting deleted text, only insertions and format changes.

Word 2003 - Tracked Changes
Are you certain that you have Word 2003? That option was left out of Word
2002 but was put back in Word 2003. In either case, the answer is to use the second macro in http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Put_Track_...k_On_Track.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. chippy2 wrote: Hi Jay Thanks for your reply.

Word 2003 - Tracked Changes
In that case, you have Word 2002 rather than 2003.
