Highlighting Changes to a Word Document
      #389582 - Thu Mar 27 2008 08:23 AM

Does anybody know if I am correct in thinking that in 'Word' there is a way to show / highlight any changes that have been made to a saved document. For instance if you write a six page document save it and then have to make changes and re submit it, you can somehow show or highlight the changes. I hope this makes sense.

No, once it's saved in its new format, it overrides the previous document.

From Word Help

Track changes while you edit

Open the document you want to revise.
On the Tools menu, click Track Changes.
When the Track Changes feature is enabled, TRK appears on the status bar at the bottom of your document. When you turn off change tracking, TRK is dimmed.

Make the changes you want by inserting, deleting, or moving text or graphics. You can also change formatting.

Notes

You can change the color and other formatting that Word uses to mark changed text and graphics.
If you use change tracking and then save your document as a Web page, tracked changes will appear on your Web page.
If you hide a type of markup by clearing it on the Show menu, the markup automatically appears each time the document is opened unless you clear the Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving check box on the Security tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu). Even if you clear this check box, the markup is still in the document and can be revealed by selecting the type of markup on the Show menu

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.

Wow, after a 100 years of using Word (well, it feels like it!) I've learnt something new. Thanks Spencer

I ain't that clever. I just searched the Word help file for an appropriate response.
