Word 2003-how do I chg the color of my track changes?

[Guest]

I went to Tools, Options, Track Changes and chose a color for insertions;
however it changed the color of all insertions (even from other reviewers),
not just mine. I just want to change mine, so that all of my changes are a
different color.

Background: I am the 3rd reviewer. Blue and red are used for the 1st & 2nd
reviewers. The color for me defaulted to maroon. Maroon and red are too
close in color to easily be able to distinguish them from each other.

When you choose By Author for color, you are at Word's mercy.

If you already added the revisions it's a little too late to change
anything. As Suzanne said, you're at Word's mercy.

In the future, if you catch it in time, undo the revision and go to
Tools/Options/User Information and change your user name slightly,
such as add or remove your middle initial. Then make the revision
again and Word will assign you another Author color.
