RE: use other color for new text in Word

["David Downing" <DavidDowning -at- users -dot- com>]

Your intentions are good, but I'd use a different font and/or point size
instead.  The problem with using color is that you always have to
display and/or print the document on equipment that can reproduce the
color.  Granted, that's less of a problem in this day and age, but it's
still a complication best avoided.  Also, I'd take the extra few seconds
to make your alternate typeface into a style.  It'd make things easier
for you later, and maybe be beneficial to everyone else.

Subject: use other color for new text in Word



Hi,  I'm writing a big manual in Word XP that just went for review.
While 
the document is being reviewed I have to continue to write on the next 
version in the same document.  I'd like to make all new text I write be 
different from the text that is reviewed, so I know what I add new.  Is
it 
possible for example, to make all new text use another default text
color 
(like blue instead of black), please?  I know I can use Track Changes in

Word but I really don't like it (too much fuss!).  I just want to have a

different font color (without changing styles or having to mark new text
in 
blue all the time). The old text have to stay black also :)

thanks,
David
