Tracking changes - author colour colour changing
I am using Word 2007, my track changes are set to change by "Author". When I
track changes in a document they appear in red, no-one else makes any edits to my document, but when I open the document the next day, my changes appear in blue - they seem to change colour each day. Does anyone have any idea why this happens or how to stop this? I need to keep the changes set by "Author" as I also work with others on some documents + this is our system setting. Thank you. -- bradsmih |

Tracking changes - author colour colour changing
When the colors are assigned "By author" you make sure that different users
never have the same color, but you can't control which color is actually being chosen by Word. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "bradsmih" wrote in message ...

Tracking changes - author colour colour changing
Thank you for your response Stefan. I understand what you say, however this
does not resolve my problem. If I amend a document and track the changes - they display in red, I then save it and re-open the doc the next day and my tracked changes are all displayed in blue. No-one else makes any amends to the document. It's a bit odd.

Tracking changes - author colour colour changing
Are you saying that the changes you make today are in a different color from
yesterday's (a lot of users would like to figure out how to do that!) or just that both old and new are a different color today? If the latter, then this still comes under Stefan's original statement; it would appear that Word just wakes up in a different mood some days. -- Suzanne S.

Tracking changes - author colour colour changing
I am not sure this is answering the original question, and I seem to have the
same problem. Each time any of us make changes to the document, our names are shown against the change. However, as soon as the document is sved, all changes revert to 'Author' with a single colour. This makes it impossible to see who has modified the document. What is the cause of this, and more importantly, how can it be prevented? Note it does not happen on all documents - just certain ones.

In Word 2003 and earlier, this is the result of Tools | Options | Security:
Remove personal information from file properties on save. There is a similar setting in Word 2007. -- Suzanne S.
