Using Track Changes for Writing and Editing

USING TRACK CHANGES FOR WRITING AND EDITING

• In Microsoft Word, click the tab Review
• Click on Track Changes then Tracking Options to change default settings if you wish.
• To add a comment, click on the New Comment button; it will put a “sticky” on the page with your notes.
• If you want to move a paragraph or sentence, it will underline it: click and drag.
• Open the Reviewing Pane to see changes in the margin (electronically only) as well as on the line.
• You can also choose to show your revisions in balloons, so that changes appear out in the margins on the page—click Balloons
• Once you are happy with your edit, click Accept—you can accept changes globally, or one by one.
• You can also use the Compare button to merge changes by more than one editor.
