> Thank you for the reply. I did not mean to split hairs. I have never tracked changes amongst a group of users; only my own. In the group situation, when a recipient suggests changes, I presume that those changes are tracked by lines that appear through the original text with the proposals in red; when the editor or the originator prints the document prior to accepting the changes, does it print as the original or does it print with lines through the original text and with the proposals in red?
