Revision tracking -- reviewer colors
Are there any specific rules regarding the application of colors to reviewers?
Scenario. I create a document today and during the course of editing I turn revision tracking on. My editing is marked in Blue. If I open the document tomorrow the color of my revisions has changed to Red. This gets confusing when I send the document to another party for revision and tell them to check the revisions in a specific color. Is there any way to permanently fix the colors for specific reviewers? |

When you select "By Author", Word chooses the colors and there is no permanent association of one color with one author. I wish it were otherwise, but... In Word 2003, you can click the Show button on the Reviewing toolbar, select Reviewers, and check specific reviewers to show only their changes. In Word 2007 this is in the Review ribbon, in the Tracking group, under Show Markup Reviewers. -- 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. |

Thanks for your assistance.
I haven't checked 2007 yet, but is this situation still the same?

Yes, it's still the same. There have been a few enhancements in the
Track Changes options, but permanent author-color association isn't one of them. -- 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.
