How to differentiate by color changes made by different reviewers

In a document edited in Word 2007, with Track Changes turned on, how can I
put the changes made by each reviewer in a different color?

As long as each reviewer has a different User Name, Word will use
different colors.

Review | Tracking | Track Changes | Change Tracking Options... Set the color
for all markup to "By author."

Actually, this doesn't happen in Word 2007, but many thanks.

You do need to go into the Track Changes Options dialog and set the various
color boxes to "By author".

I find nowhere to check "By Author" in "Change Tracking Options." But thanks
for your time.

It isn't a check box. It's one of the choices in each of the Color dropdowns
(the first one in the list).

Many thanks. I finally found the "by author" choice in the color boxes!

Thank you so much. I thought the color box that was showing was the top
color box. Now I've finally found the "by author" option. You've been most
helpful.
