Avoiding tracked changes of existing tracked changes

[Logan]

I am working on a document with multiple users, each of which is tracking changes. However, we want to prevent Word from tracking changes on existing tracked changes without turning off the tracked changes option. Thus, in a paragraph with unedited text and edited text, I would like to track changes in the unedited text, but not show changes in the edited text. Word automatically functions like this when editing tracked changes of a single user, but when multiple users use tracked changes, the program, I would like the program to still view the tracked changes as all made my me (and thus editable without showing double tracking).

Is this possible?
thanks,
Logan

Word has no setting for that. An alternative would be to have each contributor making their own changes - without using 'Track Changes' - and comparing their work against the original via Review>Compare. For a macro to aggregate such changes from multiple documents, see: http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/sho...-combine-macro&p=368780&viewfull=1#post368780
