CAUSE

HTML does not support marking for tracked changes.

RESOLUTION

Accept all tracked changes before you save the document as HTML.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem does not occur in Microsoft Word 2000.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is different from Word 7.0 and Internet Assistant. These products removed text that was marked for deletion when the document was converted.
