Want to track "delete" changes in Outlook XP eMail
I'm using MS Office XP. In Outlook, I'm using Word as my editor. I click "Track Changes" and can type and have my additions show in a different font. That works great. However, if I delete part of the original eMail, it is gone. If I do the same thing in MS Word, that text shows with a "strike through" so I can see it is deleted, but can see what was deleted. In Outlook, I am unable to figure out how to do the same thing.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you saying that there is no way around this in Office XP? And, are you saying that Office 2003 fixes this? Or, are you suggesting I try Office 2003 to see if it fixes it?
Will research some more and be back

Are you doing this inside outlook while composing email or inside word ?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. This problem is happening inside Outlook. I am using MS Word as the editor within Outlook.
Yes, I see the same behavior as you describe. I do not get the "Track Changes" button when creating a new eMail in Outlook. But, that may be a different topic.
I get the "Track Changes" button when I open an eMail that was sent to me. Additions to the eMail are in a different colored font. Deletions are gone instead of displaying in a strikethrough font.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the deleted text to display in a strikethrough font when in MS Outlook when MS Word is the editor?

Thanks for trying, SR. Since no one else has responded, I'm assuming it cannot be done. Sending you the points for making the attempt.
May be that is possible in office 2003 with outlook and Word both being 2003 version.
