With change tracking on, inserted text in .doc file doesn't display in
browser as tracked changed in .htm file.  Deletions display just not
insertions.  I've searched hi and lo throughout MS website and cannot find
solution.  Is there one?

Hi Sharon,

I'm assuming you're using Word 2003 and what you're referring to isn't that the inserted text doesn't appear but that it isn't
highlighted?

It appears to be a buglet in the way Word is sending out the CSS (styles for the web page).

When Word sends documents with tracked changes to an HTM file (something it will suggest you don't do <g>) it creates 3 CSS styles.
MsoDel for Deletions; MsoIns and Ins for inserts.

Those CSS styles are supposed to reflect the current settings in Tools=>Options=>Track Changes for color/strikethrough etc.
It doesn't seem as though the Insert part is picking up all of those changes.

 If you look at the HTML source (and use Ctrl+F to find MSOIns) MSODel colors text red and uses strike-through, MsoIns uses
underline with no colors specified. Not sure why the underline isn't showing in some browsers.  If you manually modify that CSS
style in your HTM file to add a color line simililar to what is in the MsoDel definition then your browser should also highlight
that text.

If you create a separate .css file with a new definition for MSOIns and pull it into Word 2003 using
 Tools=>Templates and Add-Ins, Linked CSS
that may work.

FYI--Also needed to modify the ins CSS to change "text-decoration:none" to
underline.
