When I track changes on a Word 2007 document and then copy the document into another document, either the changes are not shown or the entire document is shown as a change.

Is there any way around this?

What exactly are you trying to do. You are not going to be able to "transfer" the changes to a particular document into another document. – Ramhound Jan 6 at 16:51

If you want the changes to be propogated across two documents then you need to make an actual copy of the document via "Save as" or by Copy-Paste from Explorer, not Word.

As mentioned Word copy and paste copies only content, a full physical file copy will keep all of the file contents including the change data.

Correct. When you copy/cut content from one document into another document... the 2nd document only sees the "paste"... as a change. It will not see any changes made to the 1st document.
