SYMPTOMS
========

When you use Word as your e-mail editor to track changes in an Outlook message
reply, if you delete text from the original message, it is not marked with
revision marks. Deleted text is removed from the message. Any other changes to
the message reply are shown correctly.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To enable Word as your e-mail editor in Outlook, from the Outlook program, click
Options on the Tools menu, and select the E-mail tab.

The following Word features are available from Outlook if you use Word as your
e-mail editor (note that Word 97 must be installed to use these features):

- AutoCorrect. Automatically corrects typos on the fly.

- Spell It. Checks your spelling while you work, underlining misspelled words
  and displaying alternative spellings.

- Bullets and Numbering. Add bullets and numbering to call out important
  points.

- Tables. Use tables to present your information in an organized fashion.

- Highlighter. Use color to emphasize the key points in a message for others
  working online. Works just like a felt-tip marker.

- Conversion of e-mail names and Internet addresses. Automatic conversion of
  e-mail names and Internet addresses to hyperlinks.

- Document Map. Navigate and organize e-mail messages quickly. Word
  automatically detects if a message contains a long conversation thread and
  creates a map, via hyperlinks, to each message.

If you use Word as your e-mail editor, you can send and receive e-mail messages
to recipients who do not use Word, but features unique to Word change to plain
text. For example, a table converts to tab-delimited text.

To enable Track Changes with Word as your e-mail editor, use the following
steps:

1. Start Outlook.

2. Open an E-mail message, and click Reply.

3. On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, and then click Highlight Changes.

4. Click to select the "Track changes while editing" check box, and then click
  OK.
