Other name and color appear at times when highlighting changes.

When highlighting changes in a Word:Mac Release 1, on a random
appearing portion of the changes, the changes appear with another name
"Marc" with a color other than my own.

There are wonderful and long-standing bugs with tracking changes,
colors, and previous reviewers. Working on one Take Control book, one of
our editors suddenly found that everyone she had ever cooperatively
edited with (hundreds of people) was now listed as a reviewer in her
document. Basically you never know just who a change will be attributed
to and what color it will be. And the dates can change randomly too! m.

Hi Irving:

That's normally a sign of low-level corruption in the document. I would
Maggie the document before it fails completely and you are unable to open
it. To Maggie a document:

1) Create a fresh, blank document and save

2) Carefully copy all but the last paragraph mark. If you copy the last
paragraph mark in the document, you will also copy the problem.

3) Paste into the new document.

4) Quickly roll through the document looking for damaged formatting.

This problem is usually caused by document corruption, but can also be
caused by copying in text from a file that has had "Remove personally
identifying information on save" turned on.

Cheers
