How to turn on only change bars to track changes

[Dave]

How do I turn on "only" change bars to track changes?
When I add a word or letter it works fine, but when I delete a word I
get the change bar and also the word has a strike through and can't be
deleted.
The options under the tools menu doesn't have this option.
I have word 2002 SP3.

Thanks

Dave

In Tools>Options>Track Changes, select Hidden for deleted text.

Or run a macro containing the following code:

Options.DeletedTextMark=wdDeletedTextMarkHidden

Hope this helps.
