Track Changes Issues
I created a Macro that allows me to extract all the track changes into
another document and lest them all out.
However, I noticed that there is a Track Change Ballon called Formatted
Table, when the format of a table is changed and it lists it as a Track
Change.
However, this causes my macro to blow up and freeze. I uses the following
code:
Select Case oRevision.Type is where the Debug starts.

Public Sub ExtractTrackedChangesToNewDoc()
'Macro created 2008 by Paul Krumrei
'The macro creates a new document
'and extracts insertions and deletions
'marked as tracked changes from the active document
'NOTE: Other types of changes are skipped
'(e.g. formatting changes or inserted/deleted footnotes and endnotes)
'Only insertions and deletions in the main body of the document will be
extracted
'The document will also include metadata
'Inserted text will be applied black font color
'Deleted text will be applied red font color
'Minor adjustments are made to the styles used
'You may need to change the style settings and table layout to fit your
needs
