Microsoft Word Tips: Copy/Paste with track changes

Copy text to another document with the tracked changes?

In the source document, turn off Track Changes.
In the target document, turn off Track Changes.

Now copy and paste.

However, if you have a table containing tracked changes and you select only the table, then the tracked changes won't copy into the new document. You need to select a paragraph before or after the table as well as the table itself. Now, the tracked changes will copy along with the text.
