6. Lesson 1 Track Changes and Comments: The basics

7. Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments You’re reviewing a document before it’s sent to your department or group members. You notice changes you want to make, which you also want others to see. When you turn on Track Changes, Word inserts marks that show where deletions, insertions, and formatting changes are made. To turn on Track Changes, on the Review tab, in the Tracking group, click Track Changes.

8. See revisions Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments After you turn Track Changes on, work in Word as you normally do. As you insert or delete text, or move text or graphics around, each change appears with markup — marks such as colors and lines that show where each revision is and what it is.

9. See revisions Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments This picture shows how markups look when you make changes in your document. When you delete the text “with hard work and clear thinking,” the deleted text is put in a balloon in the document margin. To replace “twelve” with “nine,” you select “twelve” and type “nine” over it. “Twelve” goes into a balloon in the document margin; the newly inserted “nine” is underlined.

10. See revisions Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments The picture shows how markup looks when you make changes in your document. A vertical line appears in the left margin next to each sentence with tracked changes. This is an additional signal that there are changes in some sentences.

11. Insert a comment Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments You made some revisions, but you’d also like to explain why you deleted “twelve” in the first sentence. No problem: Insert a comment, which is an annotation that you can add to the document. To do that, place the cursor at the end of the text you want to comment on, “nine” in this example. On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click New Comment.

12. Comment and Deletion Balloons Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments A comment balloon appears in the document margin. The text you are commenting on, “nine,” is highlighted with your review color. You type your text in the comment balloon. Here’s how to tell the difference between a comment balloon and a deleted text balloon: The solid color background in the comment balloon. A deleted text balloon has color only around its outside border.

13. Insert a comment Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments A comment balloon appears in the document margin. The text you are commenting on, “nine,” is highlighted with your review color. You type your text in the comment balloon. The “Comment” label in the balloon. The reviewer’s initials in the balloon. Here’s how to tell the difference between a comment balloon and a deleted text balloon:

14. How to tell which reviewer has done what Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments When more than one person reviews a document, you might want to know what changes were made by which reviewer. Here are some ways to tell who did what. See who made a comment by moving the mouse pointer over it in the document. Look at the color of the revision. Pilar Pinilla’s comments (PP) appear in one color… …while Richard Bready’s comments (RB) appear in another.

15. Turning off doesn’t mean deletion Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments Track Changes off does NOT delete tracked changes — or comments. Here’s what it does do. All tracked changes already made up to that point remain in your document, even though Track Changes is turned off. Any revisions you go on to make will not be marked as revisions.

16. Accept or reject changes, and delete comments Revise documents with Track Changes and Comments When the revisions are done, someone must review them and then accept or reject them. The reviewer can deal with revisions one at a time or all at once, and can read the comments and then delete them.

On the Review tab, in the Changes group, use the Accept button to accept changes one at a time or in sequence, or to accept all changes at once.
