Track Changes

[stefanie]

I have a document that has Track Changes. When I copy and
paste it into a new blank document, it does not carry
over the track changes. But I have other documents that
have track changes, and when I copy and paste them into a
new blank document, the track changes are carryed over. I
thought that if you copy and paste into a new document,
you SHOULD NOT get the track changes. Why does it carry
over for some documents and not others.

I am a Windows XP and Office 2000 user.

Can you explain why this would happen?

This is tricky and countintuitive: as reported by another user, "If revision
tracking is *off* in the source document and *off* in the new document,
revisions to the tracked text will show when the text is pasted into the new
document."
