Tracked Changes in XP

Help! Tracking changes in Word XP is driving me mad! I'm
sure it didn't used to be so bad in earlier versions.

I don't know why, but my tracked changes are now only
being marked with a black vertical line at the side of the
text.

I've tried going into Tools, Options, and selecting a
colour to mark inserted text. But everytime I do this,
and hit OK to accept the change, it doesn't retain it.

This is the same whether I'm working in a new document, or
one sent to me from elsewhere. The documents are not
protected.

I know it's probably something simple, but I can't spot it.

cheers

Elaine.
 
Run a macro containing the following commands:

Options.InsertedTextColor = wdByAuthor
Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough

I now do seem to have colourful tracked changes (thanks),
but now another document is tracking changes...even when
track changes isn't activated. I think I'm losing the
will to fight!
