WD2000: Text Marked As Deleted Marked As Inserted After Insert File (211270)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q211270 SYMPTOMS
Text that has been marked as deleted in one document is marked as inserted
after the first document is inserted into another document using the File
command on the Insert menu.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the Track changes while editing option is active
in the current document at the time the file is inserted.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use any of the following methods.
Method 1: Turn Off the "Track changes while editing" Option
Turn off the Track changes while editing option before inserting the
file.
To turn off Track changes while editing, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, and click Highlight Changes.
- In the Highlight Changes dialog box, click to clear the Track changes
while editing check box.
Method 2: Don't Use the File Command on the Insert Menu
Don't use the File command on the Insert menu. Instead, copy and paste the
text from one document to the other.
NOTE: Text marked for deletion will not be transferred in this operation.
Method 3: Accept Changes Before You Insert the File
Accept or reject any marked changes in the file to be inserted before
inserting it. To do this, follow these steps:
- In the document to be inserted, on the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, and click Accept or Reject Changes.
- Accept or reject the changes made to the document, and then click Close.
You can now insert the document because no text is marked as deleted.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
When the Track changes while editing option is turned off in the current
document, any marked text inserted using the File command on the Insert
menu comes in just as it is marked in the document that is being inserted.
When the Track changes while editing option is turned on in the current
document, all text from an inserted file is marked as inserted.
When you are copying and pasting marked text, any text marked for deletion is not transferred, regardless of the Track changes while editing setting. By design, the Copy command does not include deleted text when copying to the Clipboard.
