Track Changes: Different Colors for Different Authors

Word's Track Changes does seem like it has a mind of its own.  But sometimes there's light at the end of the tunnel.  For instance, there is a way to set a color for each author.

During the pre-ribbon days, you'd click Tools > Options then Track Changes.


In the newer Word version, 2007,2010 and 2013's we now have the Ribbon Interface,
Click on the Review Tab
From the Track Changes Button, click the Bottom Arrow
Then select Change Tracking Options

When the Track Changes Options Window appears...

Click on the down arrow by the Comments Pull down menu

And select, By Author

Going forward,  a unique color will be associated with each authors' edits.
