I posted a request for help about 18 months ago. Nothing substantive has been forthcoming in the intervening year and a half.

So I'm pretty sure this form of track changes is no longer actively supported. The new versions of excel keep the option around for compatibility but I doubt they will actively update it if it breaks. I would recommend you look into the new features and how to use those features instead. As for Microsoft response, this forum is mostly answered by us community members and not by microsoft employees and you would need to put in a 'ticket' directly to microsoft support for that. If you go to Help then contact support you should be able to send the problem there (still no guarantee you'll get a response). good luck.
