Microsoft Office Forums - View Single Post - [Solved] Macro in Word to track colour of highlighted text

You posted two macros, the first of which concerns only comments, not tracked changes.

For the second macro, you would presumably need to add and format another column to the table it creates, in the sections after:
'Insert a 6-column table for the tracked changes and metadata
'Format the table appropriately
'Insert table headings
then output the tracked highlights to that column, by modifying the code after:
'Get info from each tracked change (insertion/deletion) from oDoc and insert in table
Highlights would be included in:
Case wdRevisionProperty
but so too are formatting changes, for example. And, although you can test whether the revision range is highlighted, Word can't tell you whether the revision was the highlighting or, say, a change to the font formatting that happens to span the same range. The only way to find that out would be to reject or accept the revision, test whether the highlighting is still there, then undo the reject or accept.

You'd presumably also want to change the prompts.
