That's a great tip to know! Thanks....but...didn't solve the problem...We
are using v2003, but that box isn't checked on either of the 2 people who
don't get different colors. Well one gets different colors, and I do. But
when we send to the 3rd party he doesn't. It all changes to the same color
no matter what he choses (by color or by author). And the user names are
definitely different on each machine.

The "By Author" mode of tracked changes uses the information in the User
Name field of your version of Word. In Word 2007 - Office button, Word
Options, Popular.
In earlier versions - Tools, Options, User Information (Name: field)

In 2002 and 2003 - there is a security setting on the Security tab ~
"Remove personal information from file properties on save" which will
change the tracked changes edits to all be made by "Author" which will
convert them all to the same color.
