Track changes getting different colors for insert and delete in

[dclair]

Anyone know if there's a way in Word 2002 to use different colors for Insert and Delete
Word used to do it in earlier versions

dclair,

You will have to move on up to Word2003 or use a macro similiar to the
following:

Sub TrackChanges()

'

' Thanks Shauna!! Shauna Kelly provided me the basic format of

' this macro last year when I started using Word2002.

' Alter which lines run by adding or removing (the apostrophe) before

' each line. To return control to Word Track Changes dialog simply make
changes

' using the track changes dialog box.



With Application.Options

.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder

.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto

' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkCaret

.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough

' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkNone

.DeletedTextColor = wdRed

' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden

.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkItalic

' .InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkNone

.InsertedTextColor = wdBlue

' .InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkUnderline

' .InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkColorOnly

' .InsertedTextColor = wdAuto

' .RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkColorOnly

' .RevisedPropertiesColor = wdAuto

.RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkColorOnly

.RevisedPropertiesColor = wdViolet



End With

End Sub



This macro can be adapted to meet your specific needs. As is it will result
in inserts as italic blue and deletions in red strikethrough.

dclair,

As I deleted any previous threads, I don't know for sure if your note of
appreciation is to me or someone else. I looked back in google and saw I
replied to a question from you about track changes. If this is related,
then the answer is yes.
