track changes problems

Hello sbsbrill ,

without having the actual document, this is just a guess work, but from what you describe I think that all strikethrough text is actually normal text styled as strikethrough, i.e. it is not a revision.

If I am right (and you can confirm that by going into the Font menu under the Home tab), the fix is rather simple:

1. Switch on trackchanges.

2. Go to Find and Replace.

3. In Find, go to Format → Font, choose Strikethrough.

4. In Replace put nothing. Don't touch that field at all.

What this does is that it essentially deletes all font that is strikethrough and because you have trackchanges on, it will show as deletions.

To your second question: if you move a block of text from one place to another within the same document, it is marked as green/addition and green/deletion because it is a moved text, the green colour is your mark of a moved text. You can switch off the moves and they will show as simple deletions and editions.

What this will do
