Original v/s Final Markup
Apologies if this is a repeat question, but I've checked a lot of posts and
none seem to cover this. How is what follows possible? WD2002 - a doc with two minor tracked changes - they don't show in Final+Markup, both show in Original+Markup WD2003 - same doc - one of the changes shows in Final+Markup, both show in Original+Markup |

Original v/s Final Markup
If they're minor, you may just be missing the formatting in the Final view.
Are you using balloons or some other type of formatting? -- Suzanne S.

Original v/s Final Markup
Thank you for picking this up so quickly.
My 'Show' options are set to show all four items (comments, insertions etc) and Balloons is set to Always Under Original+markup it shows an 'Insertion' of a short phrase and a 'Field Code Changed' where there is no field code now. Under Final+markup it still shows the field code one. I can accept all changes and both will vanish, so that's fine, but I was puzzled at the way WD2003 showed that field code one under Final but using WD2002 it did not. I assume Original shows markup at all because that particular doc version was inherited with unaccepted items, but am again puzzled that it needs a special 'accept all changes' to get rid of it "Suzanne S.

Original v/s Final Markup
Field codes are often changed by printing or Print Previewing, so it's
entirely possible that a "change" in a field code might be present in one doc and not in another (but a total deletion of a field code would be a different matter. There are some differences between Word 2002 and 2003 in Track Changes, notably that, except with a Registry edit, it is not possible to specifically format deletions. For some reason, many users seem them not marked in any way if balloons are not used (or in Normal view); I always saw them as struck through; I don't know what caused this discrepancy, but the users who saw no formatting were justifiably dismayed. As for Original Showing Markup, it is the flip side of Final Showing Markup. The latter shows deletions in balloons and insertions as plain text in the document body. The former shows deleted text in place and insertions in balloons. In other words, in each case, the document body itself shows the Original or Final version, with the changes in balloons. -- Suzanne S.
