track changes problem

[Teddy]

When I try to track changes in a document (using Word 2002), I have
balloons turned on, but only the deleted items are showing up in
balloons. The items I've inserted don't show up in balloons unless.

I can get the inserted items to show up in balloons if, on the
reviewing toolbar, I choose 'original showing markup', but then I
don't have my deleted items showing up in balloons.

How can I get both my inserted items AND my deleted items to show in
balloons when I am in track changes?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Teddy,

If you are viewing "Final Showing Markup" then the inserted text is
visible in the document - there is no need to display a Balloon for
something you can see.

Whereas the deleted text is removed from the document and a Balloon
will display text that is no longer visible in the document.

When you view "Original Showing Markup" then the reverse applies.
Deleted text is visible in the document and inserted text is not.

If you want to review all changes then perhaps the Reviewing pane will
accomplish what you need. Either that or you can turn the Balloons off
and view deletions and insertions in the document instead of Balloons.
