Track Changes - Deleting Words

[peanutt99]

I have track changes turned on in my Word 2007 document. I am looking at the
document in "Final Shoring Markup". When I highlight the area to replace the
wording, instead of showing it as a change and adding the new words it
deletes the highlighted area. Example: I want to delete the word Example.
I highlight the word example and use the backspace key. Instead of red
lining the word and lettign me replace it with the new word "New Example", it
deletes the word example. Any ideas why this happens?

Perhaps Track Changes is turned off?

Dear Suzanne,

Track changes is turned on.

This is puzzeling.

In track changes options, make sure the markup for deletions is not set to
hidden. Strikethrough is the default setting.

HTH,

Dear Pam,

Strikethrough is set as the default. Thanks.
