Track changes prob

[Amy]

Hi, Before a macro runs, I want to make sure that people turn off their track
changes mode (and I would like them to do it manually). However, the script I
am using seems to believe that track changes mode is being used when it is
not. This happens when the user copies text from an email and pastes it into
their doc (and they do not have track changes on, nor are there any track
changes marks). Any ideas about this?

If ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = True Then
MsgBox "Please turn off track changes mode and/or remove track changes
in the response list before running this macro.", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation,
"Turn off/remove track changes"
Exit Sub
End If

If rSlc.Paragraphs.Revisions.Count > 0 Then
MsgBox "Please turn off track changes mode and/or remove track changes
in the response list before running this macro.", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation,
"Turn off/remove track changes"
Exit Sub
End I

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QW15?=,

not. This happens when the user copies text from an email and pastes it into
their doc (and they do not have track changes on, nor are there any track
changes marks).

FWIW, if I copy something from an Outlook email into Word, Track Changes doesn't
get activated; ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = False

Are these email messages, or document attachments sent by email? Version of
Office involved?

Hi Amy,

Sorry about the delayed reply; "real life" caught up with me for a few days...

I am using Outlook 2003 and Word 2003. The mail format in Outlook is set to
HTML. I also have "Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to edit email messages"
checked. I am trying to paste text from the body of an email. The text
originally came from a Word document, so it uses styles in the email.

I never use Outlook in this mode, so it's difficult for me to test this for
you. Try asking in an Outlook newsgroup if someone there is familiar with
this. I know there's an option (activated by default) that forces an attached
Word document into "Track Changes" mode. This might be something similar. If
it is, you may not be able to do much about it because the option comes from
the sender's side.
