Re: How to automate this process?

But oh so tedious to do it by hand.....

Actually, even as a novice scripter I could probably come up with the 
Word syntax for steps 1-5 to help--those steps shouldn't be that 
complicated. You'll have to let Word open each one while it runs. And I 
think set the script up as a droplet and maybe drop the 100 files on it 
at once? Maybe in batches?

Do you know scripting at all? Are you willing to play with it?

But the detail you gave isn't enough.  Do you want the 
Comments/Insertions/Deletions shown in Balloons?  You might run into the 
problem that not all the text fits in the balloons.  And you are 
printing the list of markup, so I guess you don't want balloons. But 
View Insertions, etc is not a simple On/Off switch. You should state 
EXACTLY what you would do manually, including things like what View you 
are using, etc.
