I'm working on a do***ent with a client who is running Windows Vista
and Office 2007. I created a do***ent, switched on track changes, sent
the doc to the client, and then edited the doc when it came back to me
with changes. After editing, I accepted all changes in the do***ent,
saved the do***ent with a new name, and then sent it back to the
client. From my perspective, everything in the new version of the
do***ent looks OK. However, when my client looks at the do***ent, he
sees occasional concatenated words (for example "expose the units"
appears as "exposethe units"). The concatenated words appear to be
connected to previously tracked changes. But not all changes resulted
in concatenated words.
If I copy the problematic do***ent to Windows XP, running in Parallels
Desktop on my Mac, and then open the do***ent with Word 2004, I also
see the concatenated words. But, back in OS X, if I save the original
file to Word 97 - 2004 format, the problem goes away (both on
Parallels/XP and on Vista).
I also tried creating a brand new do***ent and copying the text from
the problem do***ent into the new doc (all apart from the last few
spaces at the end of the last para). But this didn't resolve the
problem.
Any thoughts on what could be happening? Is this a known bug?
Thanks,
Nigel
