{| The information in this article applies to:
 * width="100%"|
 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.1a

SYMPTOMS
When you save a document from Word 6.x for Macintosh as a Word 4.x or Word 5.x document, document revisions marked with Revisions While Editing are converted to formatted text when reopened.

For example, deleted text that is marked with a strikethrough using Mark Revisions While Editing 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.
