Track Changes is a powerful feature in MS Word that allows you to track edits made to a document. This feature is especially useful when collaborating with others on a document, as it visually marks changes, additions, and deletions.
Here’s how to use Track Changes:
- Turn On Track Changes:
- Go to the “Review” tab and click on “Track Changes” in the “Tracking” group. This will start tracking changes made to the document.
- Once enabled, any additions, deletions, or formatting changes will be marked with colored text or strikethroughs.
- Viewing Changes:
- In the “Review” tab, you can choose how to view changes by selecting options like “Final: Show Markup” or “Original: Show Markup.” This will show you the document in its final form, with changes highlighted, or show the original version with revisions.
- Accepting or Rejecting Changes:
- To finalize the document, go through the changes and either accept or reject them. Use the “Accept” or “Reject” buttons in the “Changes” group to manage each change.
- Add Comments:
- You can also add comments to the document by clicking “New Comment” in the “Comments” group. This is helpful for explaining or discussing changes with collaborators.
Track Changes is an invaluable tool for collaboration, allowing you to review and manage document revisions with ease.
