I received a document from another person that has their tracked changes in
red. Their changes are in red strikethrough for words they've deleted; and in RED font for words they've added. When I PRINT the document, my printer doesn't print in RED, and although the strikethroughs print okay, the RED text doesn't show up as RED, in fact the RED text is not enough change from the regular black text (during printing) so it doesn't show the words that have been added. How can I change the way the printed document prints so that I can tell what they have added (can I change the RED text that they've added to be UNDERLINED text?) Thanks -- Teddyberry |

The settings for markup are on the Track Changes tab of Tools | Options and
are entirely up to you (what they have set on their machine doesn't affect yours). You can use a different color or substitute (or add) an underline for the color, etc. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne. I went into Track Changes and it shows that insertions are
in UNDERLINE, Color: By author. It also shows that deletions are in strikethrough, Color: By author. But when I look at the document, or print it the deletions ARE struckthrough, but the insertions are grey (almost the same color as the regular typing) and I can't tell which words were inserted because the color is nearly the same as the regular font (they inserted words are not underlined.) Is there a way to change the document that I received so that insertions are underlined? -- Teddyberry "Suzanne S.

If the markup in the document had been created by Track Changes, then what
you see in the document would reflect the settings in Track Changes Options on your machine. Therefore, the markup has *not* been created using Track Changes in Word but by some other add-in (such as DeltaView). This is going to make accepting or rejecting the changes difficult, too. You can probably use Find and Replace to search for the font color and add or substitute underline formatting. -- Suzanne S.

You're probably correct. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I
couldn't make the change. Thanks for the idea of doing find and replace--this is what I'll need to do. -- Teddyberry "Suzanne S.
