Tracking Changes using Outlook
I am trying to figure out how to track changes in outlook using word as my editor. I see the option to track changes but it is greyed out. Is there someway to enable this.

As I mentioned initially, I am using word as my editor in outlook. That is the only reason “track changes” is displayed in the tools menu. The problem is that the option is grayed out.
oh sorry... are you clicked in the document part of the email or the address part?

But when you receive the email the track changes are not displayed nor may you continue to track changes.
Open an e-mail message, and click Reply or Forward.
On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, and then click Highlight Changes. It Highlight Changes is not available, click in the body section of the mail message, and then click Tools, Track Changes, and Highlight Changes.
Click to select the "Track changes while editing" check box, and then click OK

If you open a rich text email Track Changes is available thru the Tools menu. After you have finished creating the changes you may then hit forward or reply to send the email. I do not see any highlight changes button or Track changes while editing check box.
