Track changes colors red and blue

I am using Word 2002 and very often use track changes. The regulators want me
to use blue underlines for all additions and red strikethrough's for all
deletions on my doc's that I send them. Lene Fredborg replied to Jo's email
in January 2007 with a macro. I loved it!! The only problem I had was when I
emailed the doc to the regulators all the red and blue turned to violet. I do
not know how to change this so the the track changes are red and blue when I
email them. Could you please help me.
Thanks so much...

Tell the regulators that the appearance of your document on their machine is
dependent on *their* settings; they're the ones who have to select the
appropriate colors in Tools | Options | Track Changes.

Suzanne, one more question. The last line in the macro that Lene wrote has
the color violet and that is why I thought the regulators email showed the
color violet when she received it. Do you remember the macro? Could that be
possible to change that from violet to red and blue?

This is the macro I am using:
' Thanks Shauna!! Fellow MVP Shauna Kelly provided me the basic format of
' this macro last year when I started using Word2002.

With Application.Options
..RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder
..RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto
..DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough
..DeletedTextColor = wdRed
..InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkUnderline
..InsertedTextColor = wdBlue
..RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkColorOnly
..RevisedPropertiesColor = wdViolet


End With
End Sub
What I want to do is change the violet color, (when emailed the color that
shows up on the recipients doc), to the red strikethrough for deletions and
to the blue underlined for additions. Is that possible? I have played with
this macro and can't get it to change from violet. Can you please help me
now? Thanks, Sharon
