Strikethrough Deletions

[JS]

I am having a problem with my track changes. I have used this option for all
my work but have never had a problem until today. When viewing the markup, I
discovered that it only tracked my insertions, no deletions at all. I spent a
couple hours going through pretty much all of the menus in word (I have 2002)
and checking to make sure all of my track changes options were correct. I
also looked through many of the posts here, but could not find an answer. I
don't know what the issue could be, I have not changed any settings since I
used track changes yesterday and no one else uses my computer. The changes
were definitely tracked b/c I have all the insertions and I was looking at
the markup, but no strikethroughs, which I really need to use. I tried
opening a new document and they did not work there either. I could still use
them on documents that already had strikethrough, but nothing new. Any help
would be appreciated.

Run a macro containing the command

Application.Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough

A co-worker might have been playing a trick on you by running

Application.Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkNone

Also, make sure that Deletions is checked on the Show menu on the Reviewing
toolbar.

Thanks. I tried to do this but I don't understand how macros work and it
doesn't seem to have.
