Track Changes

I want to display multiple authors in a document with tracked changes.

When I open a document which already has tracked changes in it (blue by "Author"), make changes of my own (red) and either email it or save it, when I open it, it makes my changes the same as the previous author and puts them all as "Author" (blue).

RE: Track Changes

Hi Izabelle

Thanks for getting in touch. This wasn't an issue I'd come across before, so I searched around for similar problems. First thing I would check is that your "name" has been setup correctly for Office. Let us know which version of Office you're running and I can provide details how to check that.

There's a good list of things to check on this post though it does concern Word 2003:

If none of those seem to be doing the trick for you, reply back letting us know what you've tried and we can suggest further diagnosis.

Kind regards

RE: Track Changes

I am using 2010. I have done some further testing and if I open a new document, it displays the authors correctly. I was having a problem with an external document on which the autho is set to be "author" rather than someone's name so I suspect this is the cause of any further changes being set as "Author" and therefore looking like one person rather than multiple.

Thank you for your reply.

Word tip:

Showing different heading levels in the document Map

If you have created your document using Styles on your headings then great they appear in the document map, but if you have lots and want to minimise them to say show just all level 1 headings right click in the document map and part of the outline toolbar shows allowing you to choose your level headings you want to view.
