Varying track changes colours
Hi,
I'm using Word 2000 with track changes enabled. Several authors made some initial revisions to a document. We now want to make further changes while keeping the initial changes as tracked changes (rather than accepting them first). However, we also want to be able to differentiate the latter changes from the initial ones. Can track changes be used for this? The only way of having different colours seems to be by author. This wouldn't work because the authors in the first and second lot of changes will be the same. Any suggestions? Thanks, Derek |

You can't control the colours for authors, nor separate out the new changes.
If you have control over the authors, a kludgey workaround would be to have them change their Word user names temporarily - add a "2nd draft" suffix to each, for instance. If you don't have control over the authors, you might be able to use Compare documents (changing your own user name each time) to build up separate sets of tracked changes. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Derek" wrote in message oups.com...
