WD2000: Multi-Column Revision Bars Do Not Print As Displayed

ID: Q212383

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When a document is formatted with multiple columns, revision marks may not appear where you expect them to appear.

If You Specify Left Border Revision Marks

When you compare one document to another and use revision bars to mark changes, the revision bars are displayed on the left of each column but are printed along the left edge of the page instead of along the left side of the edited column.

If You Specify Right Border Revision Marks

When you compare one document to another and use revision bars to mark changes, the revision bars are displayed to the right of each column but are printed along the right edge of the page instead of along the right side of the edited column.


CAUSE

By design, Word prints all revision bars in the left, right, or outside page border, depending on the option you have selected for Changed lines. (On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, click Highlight Changes, and then click Options.) This applies to both single and multi-column documents.


MORE INFORMATION

Revision bars are used in conjunction with other revision marks (strikethrough text, underlined text, colored text) to identify changed lines. Revision bars are intended to draw the reader's eye to the general vertical position of the changed lines.
