I think we may be doing a lot of work here for nothing!

In your original message you said you didn't want others to see the old data.

The trouble with using hidden text for track change deletions is that if you
send the file with active revisions to someone they can still view that
hidden text if they know how.

If you really don't want people to be able to see what you have deleted then
track changes is not a method you should use for your document unless you are
distributing only hard (paper) copies of the markup.

If you don't accept or reject your changes before mailing your document then
the recipient can see all tracked changes saved in the file. That's the whole
point of this functionality in Word.

Garfield FYI

When i change
DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden (in the macro)
to
DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkUnderline
the deleted text is undelined, so i guess that this is the line to
change....

I have allso tried this on several pc's so its not the pc.

Sub test()

' Macro created 11/3/2004 by

With Application.Options

.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder

.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto

.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden

.DeletedTextColor = wdAuto

.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkNone

.InsertedTextColor = wdAuto

.RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkNone

.RevisedPropertiesColor = wdAuto



End With

End Sub

It works perfectly for me. In your original post, you did not know how
to install or run the macro... maybe you still do not know? You also
need to turn off "Hidden text" in Tools | Options | View.
