Hi,

I want to highlight text in a Word document, that has track changes enabled
and the highlight operation should not appear as a tracked change. For
example, when we protect a in Word 2003, Word automatically highlights the
regions of the document that is editable by different users in different
colors. This highlight does not cause any tracked change, moreover, when I
look at the properties of the range object, I do not see anything different
from a normal range without protection. And when I switch the option to view
the bookmarks, I see that the highlighted regions are surrounded by bookmark
symbols. But the range object does not contain any bookmarks. Can someone
help me out here, as to how this can be done??

Thanks and Regards,
Laks

#1: You would have to turn off track changes, apply the highlight,
turn tracked changes back on.

#2: Hidden bookmarks are revealed by: Insert > Bookmark then select
the checkbox down the bottom that says show hidden bookmarks.
