Office-XP Tracking Changes - MAJOR PROBLEM!

In Office-2K it was possible to add and delete text in a document and just display a veritical line to show that chnages had been made, so deletions would not be shown, you would only see this line.

In XP however we can't seem to simulate this, we can't hide the deleted text and still display a marker to indicate that the text has changed.

Please help. we are in the process of upgrading to Office-XP and this will be a MAJOR problem.

Thanks
 
Hi Julie

Yes, some idiot thought balloons were such a billiant idea they could remove
the ability to change the deleted text mark-up in the options in Word 2002
(Office XP). It has been put back in Word 2003.

You can run
Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden

from the immediate window, and make the rest of the settings by hand, but
the following macro will do the lot:

Sub ShowChangebarsOnly()
With Options
' no text marking when printed
.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkNone
.InsertedTextColor = wdAuto
.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden
.DeletedTextColor = wdByAuthor
.RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkNone
.RevisedPropertiesColor = wdAuto
' print change bars
.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkRightBorder
.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto
End With
' revisions visible and printing, no balloons
With ActiveWindow.View
.RevisionsMode = wdInLineRevisions
.ShowRevisionsAndComments = True
.ShowFormatChanges = False
.RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal
End With
End Sub
