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.
