SYMPTOMS
When you try to use Microsoft Word 2002 or a later version of Word to open a Microsoft Word for Windows 95 document that contains conflicting revision marks from multiple reviewers, the names of the reviewers and the dates of the revisions are displayed incorrectly.

For example, if a document contains a revision that was inserted by User 1, and was later deleted by User 2, Word 2002 and later versions of Word display the description of the revision as follows:

Unknown,:

Deleted

However, the expected description is as follows:

User 2,   :

Deleted



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, save the document as a Word 2002 or later version of Word file, and then continue to track changes and comments in your document. The existing revision information from the earlier version of Word remains unchanged. However, reviewer names and dates for new changes and comments are now displayed correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
