Toggle navigation. Using the Reviewing Toolbar. In Word 97 and Word , the tools included on the toolbar are divided into four major categories: Comments. These are the first five tools. They allow you to add, edit, and delete comments, as well as quickly jump forward or backward through the comments. Track Changes. These are the next five tools. They allow you to turn on tracking, locate previous or next changes, and accept or reject the selected change.

The highlight tool is included on the Reviewing toolbar. It is the same highlight tool included on the Formatting toolbar. This final group of three tools allows you to create an Outlook task, save a document version, and e-mail your document. In Word and Word the Reviewing toolbar includes tools in the following categories: Display. These are the first two tools; both are drop-down lists. These tools control what types of changes you see displayed in the Word document. In Figure 6, the two revisions remain in the document.

The tracked changes are there; using Final view, we just can't see them. You can switch back and forth between Final Showing Markup and Final to see the document with or without displaying the tracked changes. Figure 6: Showing the Final version. You just see the final text, even though the document contains two tracked changes. To distinguish between reviewers also called authors , you can tell Word to display each reviewer's markup in a different colour.

Choose the "By Author" colour Figure 7. Figure 8 displays two authors' revisions in different colours. The "red" author inserted 'dark', deleted 'jumps' and inserted 'hops'. The "blue" author deleted 'lazy' and inserted 'friendly'. You can use this to your advantage. If you want to give someone feedback on a document, you can distinguish serious proposals about the content from relatively minor changes to formatting.

The tracked changes you make can show up in two different colours. Topic : Sharing documents. Tags : Track changes.
