Insertions Sets a format (default is Underline) and a color (default is By author) when you insert text into a document. The By author colors will look different on different computers, too. Other people will see the tracked changes in whatever colors they set up. These color settings are for your computer only. Now everyone’s insertions are colored turquoise.
For example, to see all insertions as Turquoise, click the arrow by Color, and then choose Turquoise.
Before attempting this, you should know how to add a new macro in Word. Note: This macro ONLY creates a list of the insertions and deletions, not the comments, any formatting changes, field updates etc. Use a macro to create a new Word document containing all the tracked changes in a table It’s not pretty, but you now have information you can manipulate.
If you want a digital copy of the tracked changes, there’s another way to use the print options. Get a digital copy of the tracked changes Note: This is a printout/image and you cannot manipulate the information. You get the dates in that print option, but unfortunately they are not in date order. Scroll down the list of options – there’s one for List of Markup.Click the drop-down arrow next to Print All Pages.However, you can drag it up to make it display more entries per ‘screen’. You can’t sort this pane by date or anything else.
Be aware that this reviewing pane is unlikely to display in PDF – only in Word.Reviewing Pane Vertical DOESN’T show the date, only the name only Horizontal shows the date on the far right of that pane at the bottom of the window.The dates are shown on the far right of the new section that opens below the document in the Word window. Click the drop-down arrow next to Reviewing Pane.Display the dates for each tracked change in one list The instructions below are for Word 2010, though Word 2007 and later versions should work similarly. And with the use of a clever macro, you can even get a table of all insertions/deletions and information such as author, date, page, line number of the change.
And it’s not even easy to see the date a change was made - yes, you can check each one by hovering over the tracked change, but getting a list of them isn’t so easy. Word doesn’t have an easy way for you to track changes by date.
