Track changes not distinguishing between commenters

[ReisheJ]

Hi--I have recently worked with documents that had edits made by someone else. When I add my edits--they show up as the same color as the previous commenter. But when I go to the settings and change the color of edits, this changes all of the edits, not just mine. How can I reset so that each commenter's edits are identifiable by a different color?

In the Track Changes Options, you should see an option to display colors "By author." Sorry, I don't use Word for Mac myself, so I can't offer specific steps.
