QPN is on a distinguished road
Default Combining document revisions: deletions in revised document don't show up...

...but all other tracked changes and comments show up just fine. This is infuriating to discover after hours spent reworking a long draft on the basis of what I thought were comments!



I have tried to replicate the issue using a one sentence file that I edited twice and then combined:
- when I pick 'show revisions in new document' the revised document's deletions are lost.
- when I pick 'show revisions in revised document', the orginal document's deletions are lost.

My company turns out not to have any key-users, but this function is vital for my sanity...

I hope someone knows how to solve this, thanks in advance!

Please give the exact, step-by-step, methods you are using to combine the documents.
Do both have Track Changes turned on?

The rules for copying and pasting text ranges that contain tracked changes are explained in Shauna Kelly's article How does Track Changes in Microsoft Word work? | ShaunaKelly.com.

On the other hand, if you are using Word's Combine or Compare features, see Compare document differences using the legal blackline option.
