Can you change the color of your edits to keep your old
colors, but for additional edits you want to have Track
Changes display and be able to print them in different
colors? Need to show a document with cumulative changes
though.

Go to...

Tools | Options | Track Changes: and select your options
there.

If you have "By Author" selected on the Track Changes tab of Tools |
Options, go to the User Information tab and change your name slightly
(add/remove a middle initial, introduce an extra space, or whatever). You
will then be a different "author" and should rate a different color.
