SYMPTOMS
When you save a document from Word 98 Macintosh Edition as a Word 4.x or
Word 5.x document, revisions marked with Track Changes are converted to
formatted text when reopened.
For example, deleted text that is marked with a strikethrough using Track
Changes will be converted to text formatted with the strikethrough
character attribute.
CAUSE
Word versions 5.x and earlier do not support revision marks. Character
formatting indicating revised text is retained.
WORKAROUND
Accept the revised changes before saving as a Word 4.x or Word 5.x
document.
