Tech Tip of the Week: How to track changes

From the IT Group:

When working together on a document, there is an easy way to see what changes and edits others have suggested. Office 2007 allows you to track changes easily, accept or reject those suggestions and then modifies the document for you.

To track changes while you edit simply:

1. Open your document and Click on Review tab.
2. Select Tracking down arrow, Track Changes and then Track Changes again.
3. Make the changes in the document; the text will be red and underlined.
4. To turn it off - go back to Review Tab (if you are not in it), select Tracking down arrow, Track Changes and then Track changes again. Now it is off.

To accept or reject changes:

1. On your Word document, select Review tab.
2. From the group titled Changes, select the arrow in Accept or Reject Changes.
3. Accept/Reject all or some changes.
