Word track changes should have different colors for del/ins

When getting Word 2002 in Office XP I was disappointed to see that the
feature in earlier versions of Word allowing different colors for inserted
and deleted text in TRACK CHANGES was no longer available.

You can use vba to access/change these settings

Options.DeleteTextColor
Options.InsertedTextColor

As Doug points out, you can use VBA to correct this. The "new, improved"
Track Changes feature in Word 2002 was not quite ready for prime time. In
Word 2003 the mistakes have been corrected and all the former functionality
restored.
