Track Changes -- Author Color
I have made one set of changes in a doc in blue. I now want to add a second set of changes without eliminating or changing the first set. Can I add the 2nd set of changes in a new color ...e.g. green, while still keeping the first set of changes in blue?
Look page #71 in Pages User Guide.

When working on a document in Track Changes mode and wanting to add further changes , Word is stating that I am the 'author' which is incorrect. I write or change something and it comes up as blue and with my name which is correct, however as soon as I
save this it then changes back to 'author' and red. making all changes by all users the same. Please help as we need the old way of reviewing, ie. different colours and different names issues to changes. All settings are correct for user name etc.What you describe suggests that someone has run the Document Inspector on the document and selected the option to remove personal information. Once this has been done, reviewer names will be removed each time you reopen the document. To prevent this from
happening, clear "Remove personal information from file properties on save"; assuming that you are using Word 2010 or 2013, you'll find the option at File tab | Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Privacy Options.

Change Track Change Author after Review Complete
In a Word 2010 report, various reviewers have worked on their individual sections so track changes shows their individual names.
Now the client wants no individual name but company initials instead.
Can I somehow make that change from my computer? If they open the doc on their computer and make the change individually, is there a way to update that information?
Thanks!You could do that with a macro, such as:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim StrUser As String, StrCompany As String, i As Long, Rng As Range, RngMv As Range, bTrk As Boolean
StrUser = Application.UserName: StrCompany = "My Company"
Application.UserName = StrCompany
With ActiveDocument
On Error Resume Next
bTrk = .TrackRevisions
.TrackRevisions = True
For i = 1 To .Revisions.Count
Set Rng = .Revisions(i).Range
With .Revisions(i)
If .Author <> StrCompany Then
If .Type = wdRevisionDelete Then
.Reject
Rng.Delete
End If
If .Type = wdRevisionInsert Then
Rng.Copy
Rng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Reject
Rng.Paste
End If
End If
End With
Next
For i = .Revisions.Count To 1 Step -1
Set Rng = .Revisions(i).Range
With .Revisions(i)
If .Author <> StrCompany Then
If .Type = wdRevisionMovedFrom Then
Set RngMv = .MovedRange
.Reject
Rng.Cut
RngMv.Paste
End If
End If
End With
Next
.TrackRevisions = bTrk
End With
Application.UserName = StrUser
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The above macro deals with insertions, deletions and moves. There are numerous other revision types that might also need to be dealt with - I'll leave it to your organization to code for them. Change 'My Company' to whatever name you want to use.

How do I change the font color for track changes in pages?
I am using the "track changes" function to edit a document in pages, and would like to change the edited text from pale yellow green to a color I can actually see. How do I do this?
Hello Zoolie,
That is an easy thing to do. Go to the drop down menu View > Comments and Changes > Author Color and then just select the color that you want and you will be good to go. Take a look at the article below for more information if needed.

Co-author cannot access track change and add/delete scenes
My co-author cannot access track change or add/delete scenes. Is it a bug or is there a setting that I did not set correctly. I shared the document as co-author several times with the same results. Any help would be appreciated Thank you Brice
Hi there,
Unfortunately, currently only owner of the document has the right to turn on/off track changes or accept/reject changes. Co-author can still view the document as Original or Final from Review menu or even navigate through the changes using Next Change/Previous Change. Extending the track changes rights to co-author as well is being considered on our backlog of items to do.
Meanwhile, the co-author should still be able to go ahead and edit existing text, add new text, delete existing text and it should be getting tracked.
Do keep providing us your feedback on the track changes feature. Your feedback is extremely important to us and helps us to improve.
Thanks

Track Changes colors not working when story contains table
Can anyone duplicate this problem/bug, or let me know if it is just my machine?
Steps to reproduce
Make sure your Edit > Preferences > Story Editor has non-black text colors defined for Added Text, Deleted Text, and Moved Text.
Create document, and draw a text box
Inside the text box, Right-click > Fill with Placeholder Text
With the cursor in the text box, turn on Track Changes and Show Changes from the Track Changes pallette:
Open the Story Editor with Ctrl/Cmd-Y
Cut/paste, delete, and insert some text.
Confirm colors appear in Story Editor as defined in step 1:
Now insert a table anywhere in the story. For me, all non-black text coloring (bg stays fine) disappears:
Is this an InDesign bug, or something I'm experiencing on my own machine? I've been able to duplicate the issue in InDesign CS6, InDesign CC and InCopy CC on my Win7 Pro 64-bit machine.I'd recommend filing a bug report here to make sure it gets reported:

Re all tracks change to a lighter color tone.
re all tracks change to a lighter color tone.
Hi guys.. occasionally I click something not sure what, as my pen on a Wacom tablet is very trigger happy.... then all the tracks turn a lighter green and I cant edit them any more.
I feel sure that this may be a right click accident or a setting with a shortcut I accidentally use. However stp has not locked up and I am just wondering what I may be doing.. is there a setting which this may be ... so that I can then unselect again.
AnitaYou're asking this in the wrong forum. This is the Acrobat Mac forum. I suspect you might be looking for the Photoshop Elements forum.

Word 2013 Track Changes Not Showing New Author Changes
The .doc file has multiple comments, deletions and changes (all showing in bubbles) but when the author makes any new changes, the bubble fails to appear and the text remains in blue. If the same author deletes the text moments later in the same session,
with or without save, the bubble appears saying that the author made a deletion. There are also a few occurrences of past changes having a redline without the bubble. All files are local to a machine added to a domain with a domain user. I am unsure of the
Word version that created the file as it was emailed from another company. I've tried copying and pasting to a new format/same format and saving into a new format (.docx.) Any ideas?
Thanks,
CoryOur office has been struggling with a related problem that maybe you can solve. Basically, the same person is repeatedly given a different reviewer name as they work in a document (presumably every time the document is autosaved). For example, if I work
for an hour adding edits or comments on a document by the time I'm ready to share it it will look like five different people made changes.
The Inspect Document fix works great to remove all the extra reviewer names, but it changes them all to 'Author'. Do you know how to then either a) change 'Author' to the reviewer's actual name or b) stop Office from assigning multiple names to the same
reviewer. Also, we've tried checking 'Always use these values regardless of sign in' under General to no avail.
Thanks - your fix is the closest we've come to a solution and it's greatly appreciated. -
Eliminating timestamps on track changes in Pages
I saw a thread from several years back saying this wasn't possible, but am hoping this has been fixed in the meantime. Might anyone know? This feature is so very annoying. Thank you.
Authors can have different colors so why not just change Author for each version?

A client of mine uses a specific color code for his ical on his computer, but on his iphone, the colors are different. I see no way to change the colors on the iphone. How do I do this?
Thanks,Cashman, this is actually possible. I just did it after searching for an answer.
how i did it:
go to iphone "Settings"
Mail contacts calendars
The exchange account he wants to change the color of.
Switch calendars to off wait till it says off then switch back on.
go and check if one of his calendars colors have changed to the color he likes.
I had to do it up to 4x on a couple just to get it to the right color, i have 4 accounts to keep track of so colors are important to me, It wont have to be changed again. Ahh.....relief! -
My footage is vertical and there are two black bars on the side filling in the rest of the picture. I want to imbed this into PowerPoint without the black bars on the side. Any suggestions on how I can remove them or at least change the color to white? I changed the background color in View > Background > White, but it was only for editing purposes and didn't keep the color after rendering.
To change the background to white, in FCE, place the video on track V2 and place a color matte generator on track V1. The default color for the color matte is grey so you'll need to change it to white using the color picker.

Can anybody explain when/how Pages 5.1 uses "author color?" No matter what I set as the author color, Pages picks a different color for the deletion/insertion text. Sometimes green, sometimes organge, etc. It wouldn't matter except I have trouble seeing a couple of the colors clearly and several lines of organe text are near impossible for me to read. I can't find any setting to fix this, anybody have any suggestions?
Brian+1 this issue. Author Color affects the margin indicators but the inserted text itself is (in my case) a mustard-brown color with no apparent affordance to change it. I can't believe this is intentional design. It's also sad to hear about Apple support's "motivated reasoning" – no doubt putting Average Handle Time call-center metrics above customer needs. You know, like Comcast, et al. My motivated reasoning for not wanting this to be the design as intended is that I once thought Apple knew what they were doing design-wise. This app is amateurish garbage. Yes, I could do better. No, I don't want to live in Cupertino.

How do i do change the color(complete newbie)
i want to have a special button inside the applet which will automatically change the color from red to yellow,
HELP!!!
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Cookie extends Applet
implements AdjustmentListener {
private Scrollbar slider;
private int sliderValue;
public void init () {
slider = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL,0,1,0,51);
add(slider);
slider.addAdjustmentListener(this);
public void paint (Graphics g) {
showStatus("Scrollbar value is " + sliderValue);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawRect(60, 60, 60, 100);
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(60, 160-sliderValue, 60, sliderValue);
g.fillRect(60, 60, 60, sliderValue);
public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) {
sliderValue = slider.getValue();
repaint();
}This seems awfully familiar!
Add a boolean to keep track of color.
Your "special button" will have fire off an actionEvent, in actionPerformed set your boolean to true or false.
In the paint method check for true or false of the boolean and setColor accordingly. -
Accessibility - Cant change document color to white-on-black!
Hello,
I have a huge document to read, and the default white background is too bright, In earlier versions of Reader, I used to enable the
Accessibility option -> Replace Document colors , and make the document white text on black background
But in the Adobe Reader XI, this is not working! I tried with some other color combinations, and it seemed to work
whereas, the momemt I choose Page Background to be black, and Document Text to white, everything turns black!
i.e, somehow the text color is also changing to black, not sure why!
Is this a known issue, or does this have to do something with the document? or the fonts on my laptop?
Any hints or workarounds, really appreciated.
(I am on Windows 7 pro, SP1 (64-bit), updated to latest Reader XI)
LoreallLoreall,
The replace colors feature in Reader only changes the color of the primary page background, so if the author added a background to the document (even if the added background is white) then this might cause the issue you describe. One thing that may help is if you enable reflow mode, as this forces extra backgrounds to disappear. You can try this by locating the option in the view menu or by hitting Ctrl+4.
