Track changes use to show deletions in red strikethrough

[Leland7]

Using Word 2002 XP, track changes won't show deleted text as red
strikethrough. Have 300+ documents that need to show additions in blue
underscore and deletions as red strikethrough .... anyone help?

I am trying to track changes but I want the deleted text to be hidden but I
still want the change bar to show. I am using Office 2002 and I went to that
website but I can not get it to work. I put in:

.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder
.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto
.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden

I can set the DeletedTextMark to other things (itallics, strikethroughs) but
it does nothing when I set it to hidden.

Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have those lines of code enclosed by a

With Options


End With

construction.

Using

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden

certainly hides deleted text for me.
