Copy text including revisions from one document to another
How can I copy text from one document to another, including the revisions
(additions and deletions)? When I try it, Word copies the revised version of the text, with all the revisions incorporated, and the revisions are gone. Both the source and the destination documents are in "Final Showing Markup" mode. Thanks. |

Copy text including revisions from one document to another
Eric,
The secret is to do the *least* intuitive thing: Turn tracking OFF in both docs, then do the copy. Then slap forehead (optional).

Copy text including revisions from one document to another
Mark - Thanks.
I have friend who's switched to the Mac world, and teases me about things like this. He raves about how easy and "natural" everything is with Mac software. I did manage to do it using an alternate approach: I deleted everything in the source file except what I wanted to copy and saved that. Then I inserted that file in the destination file. A kludge, but it worked. (I probably could also have created a bookmark for this text in the source document and saved it, then inserted it specifying a range.) Thanks for your help!
