Track changes - insertions and deletions
I'm using Word 2002. Is it possible to track insertions by underlining in
red, and deletions by strikethrough in blue? Thanks. |

Track changes - insertions and deletions
Hi Jo,
To do that, you configure 'Track Changes' via Tools|Options|Track Changes. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Jo" wrote in message ... | I'm using Word 2002. Is it possible to track insertions by underlining in | red, and deletions by strikethrough in blue? | Thanks. |

Track changes - insertions and deletions
Thanks. What I'm wanting though is to use two different colours - one for
insertions and one for deletions. Do you know if this is possible, or is there only the one-colour option for both? "Jo" wrote: I'm using Word 2002. Is it possible to track insertions by underlining in red, and deletions by strikethrough in blue? Thanks. |

Track changes - insertions and deletions
In Word 2003, you can set different colors for insertions, deletions, etc.
However, in Word 2002, you can set only one color _per user_ for all types of revisions (if Color is set to "By author"), or one color for all users (the other Color options). I think the only way you can obtain what you want in Word 2002 is to set the Color to €śBy author€ť and change your user name (Tools Options User Information tab) so that you use one name when inserting text and another when deleting text. Even though macros could be used to quickly change the name it may not be an appropriate solution. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools €“ Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation €“ add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Jo" wrote: Thanks.

Track changes - insertions and deletions
As Lene has told you, these options are available in Word 2003 but not in
Word 2002. When the new UI for Track Changes was introduced in Word 2002, some of it wasn't as carefully thought out as it should have been, and its errors and omissions were corrected in Word 2003. It is possible to change its behavior through Registry edits, however; for a macro to do this, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Put_Track_...k_On_Track.htm. -- Suzanne S.

Track changes - insertions and deletions
Thank you, Lene, for your reply. I tried Suzanne's suggestion first and that
sorted it. Thank you, Suzanne. The "Put Track Changes in Word2002 Back On Track" was very useful. I used the VB Editor Immediate Window to modify the Track Change markup option - so simple and quick. Much gratitude for putting me back on track too! Jo "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: As Lene has told you, these options are available in Word 2003 but not in Word 2002.

Track changes - insertions and deletions
I used this macro, great! There is only one problem...when I email a copy of
the tracked document to someone it shows all deletions and additions in violet, not additions underlined in blue and deletions struckthrough in red. How do I change the macro to email in the red and blue instead of violet. I am also running Word 2002. Thanks for any help you can give me. -- slb "Suzanne S.

Track changes - insertions and deletions
The appearance of tracked changes on any given machine is dependent on the
settings on that machine. There is no way you can change the settings on the recipient's machine short of an AutoOpen macro in your document, and, if the recipient actually allows the macro to run (which is unlikely), he may not thank you for it! -- Suzanne S.

Track changes - insertions and deletions
Suzanne, I shared the macro with my regulator, so she should be able to use
it as I did and see the red and blue. Is this correct, that she will now see the same thing in red and blue as I do? And you said something that made me curious..."actually allows the macro to run (which is unlikely), he may not thank you for it!" What do you mean by that? I really don't understand that much about macros, I do Know if they are not from a reliable source that they can cause you problems, right? -- slb "Suzanne S.
