Pasting tracked changes

[David Mayerovitch]

I am using Word 2003 at the moment, but would also welcome answers for Word
2007 on the following problem:

I am editing ORANGE.DOC. I have received the unrelated LEMON.DOC, which
contains tracked changes made by its author.

I would like to copy pieces of LEMON.DOC containing tracked changes and
paste them into ORANGE.DOC in such a way that the tracked changes are
preserved, and still visible, along with the original text just as they were
in LEMON.DOC.

I have been unable to do this, even after trying several different formats
under Paste Special.

Apparently the copy command only applies to the changed version of the text,
so the original version of the LEMON.DOC text does not survive the
copy-and-paste into ORANGE.DOC.

Is there any way of accomplishing what I'm trying to do?

Thanks.

David
