Paul, would you explain Markup Area Highlight a bit more? I read your reply and tried creating a document with both edits and comments in tracked changes, but see no difference, whether this is checked or not, either in the text or the balloons.

Thanks.

The markup area highlight is the background of the markup area, as I wrote. It doesn't affect the text (or background) within the balloons. I'm guessing that, depending on the selected Windows theme, the highlight may not be visible (but I haven't looked any further into this).

By the way, who is "Paul" in this thread?

Stephan, my sincere apologies. I was scanning through a number of posts and was thinking of Paul Edstein, who had replied to several.

Paul was also my father's name, but honest, I have nothing against Stephan. Just what my devoted wife likes to refer to as early senility.

Yours,
Philip U.
