Is there a way to copy tracked changes from one document
into a brand new document and still have them show as
tracked changes within the new document?

I would think that is not an option, but figured I'd check
here first.

Thank you.

If you open the first document and Save As to a second document, the
tracked changes will be retained.

Correct, but this person wants to just copy the tracked
changes -- nothing else.

Can that be done?

Thanks!

AFAIK you can't copy just the changes into a second document. But in
newer versions of Word, you can print "just the changes" from the
original document. Click on File | Print | Print what: List of markup.
I suppose if you needed the List of Markup in a document, you could
print to a file using a plain-text printer driver, then open the print
file and save it as a Word document.

This person is still using Word 97, so your suggestion
isn't doable on her machine (those options aren't there).

Oh well, she'll know for next time.

Thanks!
