Diff marks only in the margin??
Hi -
How can I compare two documents and see/print a "Final" version that has those margin diff marks on lines changed but NOT show the insertions/deletions in the paragraphs? In other words, my doc reviewers want to see diff marks that something changed without the text getting all mangled showing both the newly inserted words and the deleted words? I know how to get diff marks turned on in the "outside" margins, but when I "accept" the changes, the diff marks disappear. I learned about "Legal Black Lines" but again I can only get the black lines (diff marks) to appear when the compare/changes also appear. Hopefully I've made myself clear what I'm trying to do. As I recall, Framemaker did this feature real easy. Thanks much! Ed |

You can do this with Track Changes settings, but your reviewers will have to
have the same settings enabled for this to work, and this will affect all documents reviewed until the settings are changed. The required settings a Insertions: (none) Deletions: Hidden Changed lines: Outside border Note that this cannot be done in Word 2002 without a macro/Registry edit, but all other versions permit it. -- Suzanne S.
