Track Changes In Outlook 2003 Email

[wwalton]

Is it possible to turn on Track Changes in an Outlook 2003 email message? If
so, please let me know how.

I am using Word 2003 as my email editor, but the option alway seems to be
greyed out. Although when in Word, it seems to work fine. Also I am able to
compose a message in Word 2003 and do a file send to mail recipient and it
works fine.

Thanks

Outlook has no Track Changes option - that all exists in Word.

So if you are using Word as your email editor, the track changes option
should or should not work?

It won't work. The reason (I assume) that Microsoft disabled this is because
you cannot control what e-mail program the recipient is using. He may not be
using Word as an Editor or even Outlook at all. This will make any tracking
that you have done null and void.

If you do need tracking the simplest thing to do is to put the information
in a Word attachment that is then circulated. This may or may not be
practical depending on the nature of the correspondence.
