Writing in colour
I'm writing this on behalf of my dear wife Fay, who is not a Newsgroup
person... Being only a part time user of Word myself (Word 2007) as I use other apps for my work, I'm not sure if what she asks is possible, or if it is, how to set it up, so asking the experts here seemed a good start. She is sent documents to edit, Sentence construction, grammar, "spellin", punctuation etc... The whole kit n caboodle. The normal process is, she does the work and sends back the reconstructed doc file, obviously with a different name. In most cases the recipient is very happy with the work (She really is very good at it) but occasionally someone will ask that every single change she makes in their badly written document is hilighted in a different colour. (Believe me "Badly written" in many cases is a gross understatement) Question therefore is this: Is there something she can set up in Word (2007) so that everything *she writes/corrects* in the document is in a different colour to the base text... Say the normal hilight colour of Yellow? But only things she writes/edits? My first guess was setting up a Style, but that didn't works correctly. Help would be appreciated. Dave PS: Manually going through the doc after editing is not really an option as the docs can be anything up to 20K worth of words. D. -- Dave Triffid |

Hi Dave,
Check out Word's 'Track Changes' feature (on the 'Review' tab in Word 2007) and its various options. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Dave Symes" wrote in message ...
