The color that markups will appear will depend on which author (editor) number you are of the document. The first editor will have red markup, the second will have blue, and so on.
Jul 10, 2017 Color options for tracked changes are limited in Word. You either let Word assign colors, with no control over the specific colors chosen, or you choose a specific color. Track Changes in Word uses color coordination to avoid confusion. The first author is blue and the second is red. When additional authors make edits, they will also be assigned a unique color.
The identity of the editor is determined by the User Name associated with the Office 2010 install. You can change this if you Click Track Changes Change User Name If you edit a document and then change your own user name, Word will consider you an entirely different author and you can then edit the document using multiple colored markups.
If you do this you need to remember the exact user name you used for each color because using anything different will just create a new author ( and color).
