Track/Changes need to show deletions with strikethrough
I'm using Word 2002, when using Track/Changes, how can I get my deleted text
to view on the screen and when printed with strikethrough. The deleted text only shows color red. This is ok for the screen, however, when printed to a laserjet, having the color red does not show the deleted text. |

The Word 2002 track changes options dialog doesn't give you proper control
on the way deletions are shown, but you can still do it using VBA: Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough You can enter this in the Visual basic immediate window (Alt - F11, Ctrl -G). You only need to run it once. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Dorna Tucker" wrote in message ...

Thank you this worked. I can now see the strikethrough.
Also when you said "...run it once." When I click on the Run button, I had to create a quick macro and copied the statement into the macro. Was this the proper way to do? I was looking for it to Run right from the Immediate window.

Glad it helped :-)
You can run the line from the Immediate window (paste the line in and press Enter to execute it) but pasting into a macro shell is fine too, and handy if you want to store and reuse several different formatting options. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Dorna Tucker" wrote in message news Thank you this worked.
