Tracking changes: Showing deletions as a Strikethrough

[Kim]

When we have the track changes on a document on, it shows
deletions as a color but with no strikethrough. How do
you set it up so that the deletions show with a
strikethrough in Word 2002?

Hi Kim

You can't alter the way deletions are shown from the user interface in Word
2002 (some idiot removed the option!), but you can still do it using VBA:

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough

You can enter this in the Visual basic immediate window (Alt - F11,
Ctrl -G). You only need to run it once.
