[mso] Re: Copying Word text that has been edited in Revision Mode

Linda,

I actually am doing that as a workaround, but the reason NOT to is not
one I understand.  The original doc was created with a special template
full of macros that belongs to my client.  They released a new version
of that tool and we ended up with a couple of things like bullets not
working properly due to version incompatibility.  The client provided me
with a special repair template that fixes the problems.  Once I run the
repair utility template I have to then take all the content that has
been corrected and put it back in a doc that has the original template
rather than the repair template. I asked the client if I couldn't just
apply the correct template to the fixed doc to replace the repair
template and they said they thought it would probably work, but were
leery of possible unanticipated problems doing so.  My way actually
seems to work, but if I could copy as they want me to instead I would
like to.  But I need to keep the revision mode markings and formatting.

Whew! Hope that answers your question...and if so, got any help for me?

Diane

Why copy them?  Why not just use Save As and save them with a new name?

Subject: [mso] Copying Word text that has been edited in Revision Mode

I have some Word 2000 documents that have been reviewed and edited by
others
who used Revision Mode (Track Changes).  I need to copy the content of
these
documents into new Word documents and have discovered that all of the
track
changes formatting and markings were lost in the process.  The new Word
docs
into which I copied the edited original content do have Track Changes
set to
"Track changes while editing" and "Highlight changes on screen".

Is there a way to copy these documents so that they retain the track
changes
formatting and marking in a new document?
