Exporting table changes to Word documents

I am trying to solve an issue as an evaluator of many documents recieved from the customer.

Is there a way to export the change bars from tables into a word document? And is there a way to export it in such a manner that would just mark a change has been made in this row as to not mess up the table formatting upon export?

EXAMPLE:

___________________
_____ _______ ____
_____ _change ____
_____ _______ ____


becomes:
"-" denotes change on row.
____________________
____ _______ ______

  • |____|_______|______|
____ _______ ______


All of this in word.

Well normally when you make a change to a table cell in word, you get a change bar on the row. You can choose different options for redlining - you can for example hide all deletions making your text only show the changed parts underlined. This usually makes up for a much cleaner layout.

The question is, which exporter are you using and how do you export your change bars? The standard word export will not export Word change bars for you, WEXP for example does. With RPE this is a completely different story.
