Word 2002 changed the menu interface for Track Changes (I think Word 2003
changes it back, by the way). You can still set the options, but through
VBA, not a dialog box.
All credit for the following quotation goes to MVPs Shauna Kelly and Greg
Maxey:
_______
You will have to run a macro. The following provides a means of controlling
most of the options. Here it is set up to show the margin marks only.:
Sub TrackChanges()
With Application.Options
.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder
.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto
' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough
' .DeletedTextColor = wdRed
' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden
' .InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkItalic
' .InsertedTextColor = wdBlue
' .InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkColorOnly
' .InsertedTextColor = wdAuto
' .RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkColorOnly
' .RevisedPropertiesColor = wdAuto
' .RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkColorOnly
' .RevisedPropertiesColor = wdViolet
End With
End Sub
Remove the ' next to lines you want to activate. Put a ' next to the lines
you want to deactivate. You can change color choices as well.
You only need to run the macro once.
