Searching for Revisions

[Barb Miles]

When a document has Mark Revisions turn on, we want to be able to look
through a document for any text that was marked because of a revision. In
other words, the marked text has either a strikethrough or underline. Using
the Find with the Format - Stirkethrough or Underline attributes does not
scan the revised text.

This is Word 2000 we are using. Any ideas?

There should be a button in the Tools | Track Changes dialog that allows you
to go to the next revision.

In Word 97, one would use
Tools >> Track changes >> Accept or reject changes
Word 2000 might vary from this.

Hi Barb,

Word 2000 also had an undocumented trick:
If you go into "Edit > Find, Find what:" and hit Ctrl+N once, it'll find
"New" text (= text that was revised/inserted), and if you hit Ctrl+N again,
it'll only find text that's "Not new" (= text that wasn't changed by
revisions).

It was a pretty useful feature that was removed in Word2002/2003.
I'm not sure whether it found deletions (strikethrough).

Regards,
Klaus
