Lesson 7 – Working with Comments and Revisions

Word 2016

NOTE By default, the vertical Reviewing Pane opens to the left of the Combined Document pane. Use the left-hand part of the Reviewing Pane button to hide or display the Reviewing Pane . Use the arrow on the right-hand part of the Reviewing Pane button to switch between the horizontal and vertical Reviewing Pane . By default, both the Original Document and the Revised Document (the Source Documents) display in separate panes to the right of the Combined Document pane. Use the Show Source Documents button to hide or display either document. Because of the way formatting changes are displayed, Word can only store one set of formatting changes at a time. When you combine multiple documents, at each stage you may be prompted to decide whether you want to keep the tracked formatting changes already shown in the Original Document or use the formatting from the Revised Document . If you do not need to track formatting changes clear the Formatting check box in the Combine Documents dialog box before combining. If you do need to track formatting changes, review the tracked formatting changes after combining each Revised Document and accept or reject each formatting change as desired. NOTE The options available in the extended dialog box that appears when you click the More button in the Combine Documents dialog box are shared with the Compare Documents feature. Changes to the options in either the Combine Documents or Compare Documents dialog box become the new default settings for both Combine Documents and Compare Documents. Always check the options when combining or comparing documents.
