Track Changes-Deletions

[David Pedley]

I have converted from Word 2000 to Word XP.

When using the 'Track Changes' option, I can't find how
to turn off display of deleted text. In Word 2K there was
a specific option as to how deleted text should be
handled. This seems to have disappeared under XP.

How do I stop deleted text being shown, please?

David

The Final view does not include deleted text.

Hi David,

To turn it off, run a macro containing the following code

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkNone

To turn it back on again, you will need to run

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough

The option to change this via Tools>Options has been restored to Word 2003.
Who knows why they deleted it from XP.

Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.

Hope this helps
