Then when I SAVE the document they ALL turn red. When I start making changes they are in blue. When I open the document all the changes are in red. When someone who has not tracked changes in the document and opens the document then that person does not see different colors because when the document is saved then ALL the track changes in the document are the SAME color. Generally, the person who will approve or reject changes is not going to also be one of the people tracking changes. What we want to know is when someone who has not tracked changes in the document opens the document, can that person see the changes in different colors as appropriate? We have ascertained that when someone tracks changes and saves, the changes all appear the same color to the contributors. That doesn't really prove anything though.
