Track changes

[Glen]

We just switched from Word 97 to XP. Track changes used
to allow you to see deletions by drawing a line through
them. Now, there's no option for deletions. How can you
differentiate between additions and deletions?

Hi Glen

You can't set options for deletions from the user interface in Word 2002
(some idiot removed it!) but you can do it using VBA.

For example:

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough
Options.DeletedTextColor = wdRed

You can enter these in the Visual Basic immediate window (Alt - F11,
Ctrl -G). You only need to run the code once.
