Hi Guessed,
Thank you for analysing the problem. We at least have some leads on the root cause; however, as Office 2007 is out of support, we cannot approach Microsoft about it.
Here are a few points:
1) The character style that I applied is “My_03f_Body_Thoughts.”
In the style definition, I have used Style based on “underlying properties”, and I have set the colour to Automatic.
2) When the style name does not get modified by change tracking, the “Reject” option gives me back exactly what I started with.
Please look at the file Sample_tracked_2.docx.
I have added one more application of My_03f_Body_Thoughts and the balloon shows the correct name; and I get back the original text exactly when I do a “reject.”
When the style name gets modified, the colour (and sometime the font size) gets changes.
3) I have kept the sample document small, but as you can see, there are several character styles.
I have the same problem with them (no matter what colour I have use in the definition of the character style).
4) In the tracking options, I have not use colour “by author.”
5) “we can only assume that Word chose to put the tag there when you made the edit”
That is the problem. Why is Word doing this?
6) Finally, you wrote:
“Could it be that the specific colour tag being applied is due to Word being told to display revisions 'by author' and that Accent 6 is associated with you?
“Does the same behaviour happen if you change settings in how Revision Tracking is displayed BEFORE you start making revisions.”
If I understand you correctly, it should not matter at all what colours are set using the tracking options.
A “Reject” should do complete a roll-back.
