-------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c
 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you choose either the Accept Revisions or Undo Revisions button
in the Tools Revision Marks dialog box, Word for Windows deletes all
text that is marked for BOTH insertion (underline formatting) and
deletion (strikethrough formatting).

Text that is marked for both insertion and deletion occurs most
commonly when you copy and paste text from one document to another
while the Mark Revisions option is selected in both documents. For
example, if you delete text in one document, copy it, then paste it in
the other document, the text is marked both for insertion and
deletion.

CAUSE
=====

When you select the Accept Revisions button, Word accepts both the
insertion and the deletion of the text. When you select the Undo
Revisions, Word undoes both the deletion and the insertion of the
text. The net result of either operation is that Word deletes the
text.

WORKAROUNDS
===========

Try one of the following four workarounds:

 - For text that is marked for deletion in the source document, undo
   revisions before you copy the text and paste it in the destination
   document.

 - Copy the text to the destination document before you delete it in
   the source document.

 - In the destination document, cancel the Mark Revisions option
   before you paste text that is marked for deletion.

 - To paste text that is marked for deletion, choose Paste Special
   from the Edit menu, select Unformatted Text in the Data Type box,
   then choose OK.
