Good Thursday morning...

I found out the hard way this morning that I hadn't backed up my Word macros in... quite a while.

I am most definitely not a happy camper.

I worked 'em out once... I'll work 'em out again, I guess.

And back 'em up, this time.

Farblegargling Word.

P.S. Of course, it helps that I've posted most of the important ones here on my LJ. :^)

(Although admittedly, not with all the subsequent bug fixes and refinements.) :^(

ToggleRevMode

When a document is displayed in revision mode, it is sometimes difficult to make sense of what the final result is supposed to look like, because either you can't tell if a character has been struck through (my preference) or because the revisor was in a playful mood or suffers under the delusion that the computer can generate only a limited number of letters and thus, new text must reuse as many previous letters as possible (even if the resulting revised text cannot be read without suppressing what has been deleted).

And thus, the first of my "reconstituted" macros, what amounts to a one-liner that toggles the DeletedTextMark option:
Sub ToggleRevModeDisplay()
'
If Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden Then
    Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough
    Else
    Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden
End If
End Sub
Cheers...
