Marking up specific changes in a multi page document by a method

Our design documents (some of which are over 100 pages long) may have changes input at different times and for different amendments and we need to be able to specify to which amendment the revisions refer, need to make reviewing those changes in isolation easy for the recipient.

RE: Marking up specific changes in a multi page document by a me

Hi Sue,

Thank you for using the forum to ask a question.

If you have changes over time with a design document you can use the Track Changes feature in Word.

Along the Ribbon at the top of the screen, select the Review tab. Under Tracking you have the option to Track Changes. Click on the Top part of the button. When this option is toggled on, any amendments are automatically highlighted in red. Deleting now strikes through text rather than removing it. To make the amendment permanent, right click on any amendment and select Accept or Reject.

You can specify the areas that require amendments using the Comments option to the left of Tracking. Select the word or area required and choose New Comment to write in a coloured balloon in the margin. You can use this feature for version control.

If you don’t want to see the annotations you can switch to a different view of the document such as Final or change it back to Final: Show Markup, Original or Original: Show Markup.

When different Users are make changes, they will appear in unique colours.

Kind regards

Word tip:

Configure paste options in Word 2010

When you copy text and paste it into Word, the formatting is the same as where you copied the text from originally. You can change it to match the formatting of the current document but to avoid having to do this every time you paste text, follow the following steps:

1) Click the Office button
2) Then Word Options
3) Go to Advanced
4) Under the Cut, copy and paste heading, use the first four drop-down menus to choose a default setting for format pasting.
