Word 2003 - Tracked Changes

[Guest]

In Word 2000 it's possible to display and print tracked changes using just
the vertical bar in the margin (by hiding deletions and colouring insertions
black). I can't work out how to do this in Word 2003 because I can't hide the
deleted text and still show the inserted text. Can anyone help please?

 

[Jay Freedman]

In the Track Changes options dialog, set the inserted text format to Color
Only and set the color to Auto or Black. Set the deleted text format to
Hidden (the color doesn't matter).

If that doesn't work for you, describe exactly what you see in each box of
the dialog, and what happens in the text when you click OK.

Hi Jay

Thanks for your reply. My Track Changes options dialog box does not have any
options for formatting deleted text, only insertions and format changes.

Have you clicked on Show > Options > Select Deleted and the relevant colour?

Hi Sarah

Word is not showing me any options for deleted text, only options for
inserted text and format changes.

Are you certain that you have Word 2003? That option was left out of Word
2002 but was put back in Word 2003.

In either case, the answer is to use the second macro in

In that case, you have Word 2002 rather than 2003.

Thanks. You are quite right it's Word 2002 - sorry for the misleading info.
The macro you referenced solves my problem.

Thanks again for your help.
