Track changes, Word 2007, same color even with different authors

N

It seems I am overlooking a setting whereby track changes by different
individuals will show in different colors. Right now, everyone shows as
"author" and we are all the same color track changes. How can I change this
so that we all have a different color? On the Track Changes Option, I have
color selected "By Author" yet we are all the same.

It sounds like someone in your chain of authors has used the Document Inspector
(Office button > Prepare > Inspect Document) and removed personal information.
The symptom you mention is one of the side effects.
