Revise a Document

When two or more people collaborate on a document, one person usually creates and "owns" the document and the others review it, adding or revising content to make it more accurate, logical, or readable. In Word, reviewers can turn on the Track Changes feature so that the revisions they make to the active document are recorded without the original text being lost. (Note that Track Changes affects only the active document, not any other documents that might also be open.) You then edit the text as usual, and your changes are recorded for later review.

To turn on the Track Changes feature:

  • On the status bar, click the TRK button.
