Tracking Changes in Word 2002

[Guest]

I just recently upgraded from office97 to office2002(xp).

In the older version of word I used to be able to track
changes made by the same author or editor more easily.
added text used to be colored in one color (blue), whilst
deleted text used to be colored in a different color
(red).

In the office 2002 (xp) version, added text and deleted
text, both made by the same author or editor are colored
in the same color.

How can I configure my word 2002 to differentiate between
added text and deleted text by the same author or editor

You can't get a hold on the formatting of deleted text in Word 2002 from the
dialogs, but you make some changes using VBA.

For example:

Options.DeletedTextColor = wdBrightGreen

However, this will apply to all authors.

Options.DeletedTextColor = wdByAuthor

seems to give you the same colour as the author's insertions.

As an alternative, perhaps you could use Options.DeletedTextMark to make a
clearer distinction.

Hi

I use these options all the time and I'd like to implement this change.

Problem is I know absolutely nothing about VBA.

Where would I have to make these changes and how do I access the place?

Thanks in advance
