Hello everyone

Does anyone know of a macro that will modify a tracked changes document in MS Word so that it adds curly brackets on either side of a deletion and square brackets on either side of an insertion?

It doesn't matter to me if the brackets close whole chunks of deletions or insertions, or deleted or inserted characters individually, nor does it matter to me if the tracks remain intact and/or if the brackets are tracked.

Attached are two examples of what I'm looking for (any of the 6 options shown under the example would be acceptable to me, though I would prefer the third one, i.e. nothing in tracks anymore, and whole tracked sections bracketed).

I need this because I want to save the text in a database that accepts only plain text, and I want to be able to see where the changes were.

Thanks
Samuel
