VBA functions to hide revisions in Word 2000 do not work in Word 2002

Article ID: 300455 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q300455

SYMPTOMS

The following three Microsoft Word 2000 options for marking deleted text are not supported in Microsoft Office XP but still appear in the VBA object model and Help file:
Word.Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden
Word.Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkCaret
Word.Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkPound

CAUSE

The reason for this behavior is that deleted text, by default, is hidden in the main document. The location of the deleted text is marked by a (floating) caret that is attached to a balloon that is displayed in the side margin. The balloon is labeled Deleted and contains the deleted text. With the deleted text shifted off to the side, it no longer affects document layout or the flow of text, yet you can still view it at a glance. In other words, Word 2002 marks up a document without disrupting the layout or text flow.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other.
