I have a Word 2007 document in which I tracked changes, had my team review
it, and then accepted and rejected the changes to arrive at a final document.
It's now clean of any markups/change history.
Just recently, a team member copied a section of this document into an email
in Outlook 2007 and sent it to me. One paragraph was all in red text (not
true of the original document where it was black). This was odd.
When I replied to the email, the text that was pasted into the email
document changed. It now included a substantial amount of markup identifiers,
including text that was previously rejected/redlined out. Not only was this
odd, but it's alarming. These are old changes that, for legal reasons, I do
not want certain parties to be privy to now or in the future.
I have searched the forum for similar issues, and I've found no other
reports of this situation. In one post, a moderator assured a user that once
changes have been accepted or rejected, they are eliminated fromthe document
entirely. That doesn't seem to be the case in this instance. Can anyone help
me understand what is happening? Is this a glitch in Word? In Outlook?
Again, both programs are 2007; in Outlook, we use html stationery for our
emails, but I don't see how this would be a factor. Clearly, there is
information being stored in the Word document that Outlook is revealing in
some way.
Please help. I'm perplexed, alarmed, and dismayed. Why would the copied text
change and include the prior accepted/rejected changes when an email is
forwarded or replied to?
