Track Changes bizarre attribution behavior

[MJ]

Argh. I'm using Track Changes in a doc that also has some tracked
changes from another reviewer. My prefs are set to use a different
color for each reviewer. This has been working fine for months.

Suddenly, when I type something in the doc, it starts out in the right
color and showing me as the author (when I mouse over it); but as soon
as I type an apostrophe, it changes to the other reviewer's color and
shows *him* as the author.

Does anyone know what's causing this or how to resolve it? I've tried
selecting the section and choosing "clear all formatting" in case
there's a hidden space or character with the other reviewer's mark on
it, but that hasn't helped. Thanks for any tips.

Track Changes puts a heavy load on Word's power--you could either test the
doc for corruption:
http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/DocumentCorruption.htm
(hit refresh a few times in Safari, or use a different browser)

Or test the preferences, which may have wigged out:
http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/DamagedPrefs.htm
(hit refresh a few times in Safari, or use a different browser)

If neither of those help, post back with version of OS and Word.
