Hi Martin,

Run a macro containing the following code:

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkNone

Martin, in Word 2000 (and possibly other versions as well), your choices are
under Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes > Options. For deleted text,
the choices are Hidden, Strikethrough, ^, and #. I suppose the one that
comes closest to what you want is Hidden. Select that and anything you
delete will, for all intents and purposes, disappear. (But do you really
want that? Of course, the changed line in the margin will tell me you've
changed something. But how will I know *what* you've changed? I'd have to go
in and substitute one of the other three choices!)

Martin, another Martin here.
I hope someone can help us.

I have had the same problem. In the old Word 2000 or 97
you could have deleted text set to be hidden, whilst
inserted text visible. In this way you could show
inserted text, hide deleted text, and still mark both in
the margin.

In Word 2002/3 it seems that you cannot hide deleted text
and still show the margin mark. In order to have deleted
text marked, it has to be shown as either strikethrough,
or in thos eblasted baloons. I've tried and tried to find
an answer with no luck. Perhaps someone can help.

Hi Martin,

In Word 2003, complete control over the marking of revisions was restored to
the user interface and you can set the balloons to never.

That was not the case in Word 2002 where you must resort to the use of a
macro to set some of the options.

To have the deleted text hidden and marks displayed in the margins, use the
following commands:

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden
Options.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkLeftBorder

'or

'Options.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkRightBorder

'or

Options.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder
