Preferences for Tracking Changes

Track-changes preferences are user settings for tracking changes. For example, you can define which
changes are tracked (adding, deleting, or moving text). You can specify the appearance of each type of
tracked change, and you can have changes identified with colored change bars in the margins. The
following script shows how to set and get these preferences (for the complete script, refer to
GetChangePreference):
var myTrackChangesPreference = app.trackChangesPreferences;
with(myTrackChangesPreference)
{
addedBackgroundColorChoice =
ChangeBackgroundColorChoices.CHANGE_BACKGROUND_USES_CHANGE_PREF_COLOR;
addedTextColorChoice = ChangeTextColorChoices.CHANGE_USES_CHANGE_PREF_COLOR;
backgroundColorForAddedText = UIColors.gray;
var myColor = backgroundColorForDeletedText;
backgroundColorForDeletedText = UIColors.red;
backgroundColorForMovedText = UIColors.pink;
changeBarColor = UIColors.charcoal;
deletedBackgroundColorChoice
=ChangeBackgroundColorChoices.CHANGE_BACKGROUND_USES_CHANGE_PREF_COLOR;
deletedTextColorChoice = ChangeTextColorChoices.CHANGE_USES_CHANGE_PREF_COLOR;
//ChangebarLocations.LEFT_ALIGN (Read Only) Change bars are in the left margin.
//ChangebarLocations.RIGHT_ALIGN (Read Only) Change bars are in the right margin
locationForChangeBar = ChangebarLocations.LEFT_ALIGN;
//ChangeMarkings.OUTLINE (Read Only)
