I need to know if we can change the comments colour for
reviews without having to change the other comments
colours...meaning each editor should have its own initial
colour for putting remarks, but this does not seem to
happen. Its only one standard colour for all. Please let
me know if this MS Word is built that way? or if there's a
way to fix?

Regards.

Thanks.
 
Use the track changes options to set the comments colour to be 'By author'.
You can't choose the colours (and they will change surprisingly), but
comments by different authors will always be different colours.
 
Yes we've tested by other thinking it would change the
colour by the other, but it doesn't. It keep the actual
first colour generated by the first author.
 
Hi Levi

I've checked this in the latest versions of both 2002 and 2003, and it
'works here'. Do you perhaps have all your users set up with the same user
name (Tools > Options > User Information)? If you use a ghost installation
process this is quite common and users often don't know to change the
settings to their own name and initials.
 
Your absolutely right, thanks a lot, all machines here are
all imaged with the same setup and all MS installs are
done with the hcuser name. Thanks again.
