How to copy deleted text in MS Word?

Question

I want to copy the text that is in revisions marked as deleted - and paste it to another document. But when I mark it with mouse and do Ctrl-C it says "The selection is marked as deleted text" and nothing is copied to the clipboard.**UPDATE**: is there a solution **without rejecting the deletion**?

Answer 1

You can turn off track changes by Choosing Track Changes on the Review ribbon and click on Track Changes from the drop-down. The option is a toggle.

Now select the deleted text you want to copy and go to the new document. When you click on paste, the deleted text will appear.

 

You will probably want to return to the original file and turn Track Changes back on.
