Track changes in word 2002

[Martin]

Hi all

When i use track changes in word 2002 i got a problem.

I want to have left border marked (so other can see that here has been a
changes) But i dont want other to see the old data.. When i select accept
all changes, the left border is gone... But if i right click and choose
accept deletion, the border is still there.. In office 2000 and 2003 this
is very easy to do... Hope some of you got the answer for me...

Thanks in avanced.

I found this macro, and it keeps the outside border, but it strikes
trough instead off deleting.
Can anyone please help ?? is proberly just a line in the macro.


With Application.Options

.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder
.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto
.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden
.DeletedTextColor = wdAuto
.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkNone
.InsertedTextColor = wdAuto
.RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkNone
.RevisedPropertiesColor = wdAuto

Hi, Martin. See Doug Robbins' reply to your post of 28 May 2004.

Hi, Martin. Another thing to try is to click on Tools | Options | View
| uncheck the "All" and "Hidden text" boxes | OK.

It works perfectly for me. In your original post, you did not know how
to install or run the macro... maybe you still do not know? You also
need to turn off "Hidden text" in Tools | Options | View.

Hi again

I think i know how to install and run a macro....

this is how it is:

Sub test()

'

' test Macro

' Macro created 11/3/2004 by

'

With Application.Options

.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder

.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto

.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden

.DeletedTextColor = wdAuto

.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkNone

.InsertedTextColor = wdAuto

.RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkNone

.RevisedPropertiesColor = wdAuto



End With

End Sub

Garfield FYI

When i change
DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden (in the macro)
to
DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkUnderline
the deleted text is undelined, so i guess that this is the line to
change....

I have allso tried this on several pc's so its not the pc.

I think we may be doing a lot of work here for nothing!

In your original message you said you didn't want others to see the old data.

The trouble with using hidden text for track change deletions is that if you
send the file with active revisions to someone they can still view that
hidden text if they know how.

If you really don't want people to be able to see what you have deleted then
track changes is not a method you should use for your document unless you are
distributing only hard (paper) copies of the markup.

If you don't accept or reject your changes before mailing your document then
the recipient can see all tracked changes saved in the file. That's the whole
point of this functionality in Word.
