Answer 1

What is track changes, and why would I want to use it?

Q: What is Track Changes?

Track Changes is a way for Microsoft Word to keep track of the changes you make to a document. You can then choose to accept or reject those changes.

Let's say Bill creates a document and emails it to his colleague, Lee, for feedback. Lee can edit the document with Track Changes on. When Lee sends the document back to Bill, Bill can see what changes Lee had made.

Track Changes is also known as redline, or redlining. This is because some industries traditionally draw a vertical red line in the margin to show that some text has changed.

Q: What do I need to know to use Track Changes?

To use Track Changes, you need to know that there are three entirely separate things that might be going on at any one time:

First, at some time in the past (last week, yesterday, one millisecond ago), Word might have kept track of the changes you made. It did this because you turned on Track Changes. Word then remembered the changes you made to your document, and stored the changes in your document.

Second, if Word has stored information about changes you've made to your document, then you can choose to display those changes, or to hide them. Hiding them doesn't make them go away. It just hides them from view. (The only way to remove the tracked changes from your document is to accept or reject them.)

Third, at this very moment in time, Word may be tracking the changes you make to your document.

Just to make the point:

Word may, or may not, be currently keeping track of the changes you make.

At the same time, Word may, or may not, have stored  changes you made to the document at some point in the past.

And, at the same time, Word may, or may not, be displaying those tracked changes. Turning off (ie, hiding) the tracked changes doesn't remove them. It just hides them. To remove the tracked changes from the document, you must accept or reject them

How to turn track changes on and off

Q: How do I tell Word to track the changes I make to my document?

To turn on Track Changes (that is, to tell Word to track each change you make in your document), do one of the following:

In all versions of Word: Double-click the TRK text in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. If TRK is black, Word is tracking changes.

In all versions of Word: Ctrl-E (that's Ctrl+Shift+e)

In Word 2002 and 2003: Tools > Track Changes.

In Word 2000 and earlier versions: Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes. Tick Track Changes while editing.

Q: How can I tell if Word is tracking changes in my document?

Look at the TRK text in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. If it's black, Word is tracking changes. If it's dimmed, Word is not tracking changes.

But... turning Track Changes on or off doesn't affect whether you can see the tracked changes.  So read on...

How to display the tracked changes

Q: I want to see the tracked changes in my document. How do I turn on the display of tracked changes?

There are several ways to do this, depending on what you need:

In Word 2002 and 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, choose Final with Markup or Original with Markup. This will show you what changes have been made. If you are using balloons to display track changes (there's information about balloons, below), then:

Original Showing Markup displays insertions in balloons.

Final Showing Markup displays deletions in balloons.

In Word 2000 and earlier, Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes. Tick Highlight Changes on Screen.

Q: How do I control how Word displays tracked changes?

Tools > Options. Click the Track Changes tab. Here you choose how to display tracked changes when you are displaying tracked changes.

To learn more about how Word displays tracked changes, see How to use the Reviewing Toolbar in Microsoft Word 2002 and Word 2003.

[Just to recap: Turn on the display of tracked changes by choosing Final with Markup or Original with Markup. Having turned on the display, tell Word how to display the tracked changes using Tools > Options > Tracked Changes.]

How to hide (but not delete) track changes



Tip: Don't accidentally distribute documents containing tracked changes!

In Word 2002 and 2003, Tools > Options. On the Security tab, make sure you have ticked two important boxes.

Tick the "Warn before printing, saving or sending a file that contains tracked changes or comments" box.

Tick the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" box.

Turning these off is akin to removing the battery from the smoke alarm in your house.

Q: I want to hide the tracked changes in my document. How do I turn off the display of tracked changes?

There are several ways to do this, depending on what you need:

In Word 2002 and 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, choose Final. This displays your document as if you had accepted all the tracked changes in the document. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.

In Word 2002 and 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, choose Original. This displays your document as if you had rejected all the tracked changes in the document. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.

In earlier versions of Word, Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes. Un-tick Highlight Changes on Screen. This displays your document as if you had accepted all the tracked changes. It hides (but does not remove) the tracked changes.

But... if you turn off the display of tracked changes, it doesn't mean they're not there. The tracked changes are just hidden. Anyone could open your document and choose to view your tracked changes. To remove the tracked changes from your document, read on...

How to remove tracked changes

Q: How do I delete tracked changes from my document?

To delelete a tracked change, either accept it or reject it.

Q: How do I accept or reject one tracked change?

To accept one tracked change in Word 2002 or Word 2003, click within the change and then on the Reviewing toolbar, click the Accept Change button (it's the one with the blue tick). Or, right-click on the tracked change and choose Accept Insertion or Accept Deletion or Accept Format Change etc.

To reject (ie delete) one tracked change in Word 2002 or Word 2003, on the Reviewing toolbar, click the Reject Change button (it's the one with the red cross). Or, right-click on the tracked change and choose Reject Insertion or Reject Deletion or Reject Format Change etc.

In Word 2000 and earlier, Tools > Track Changes > Accept or Reject Changes. Click one of the Find buttons (with the green arrow) to go through the changes one by one. Accept or reject the change.

Q: How do I accept or reject all tracked changes in the document in one step?

To accept all changes in Word 2002 or Word 2003:

on the Reviewing toolbar, hover over the Accept Change button (the one with the blue tick). Click on the arrow you see to the right of the button. Choose Accept all Changes in Document.

To reject (or delete) all changes in Word 2002 or Word 2003:

on the Reviewing toolbar, hover over the Reject Change button (the one with the red cross). Click on the arrow you see to the right of the button. Choose Reject all Changes in Document.

In Word 2000 and earlier, Tools > Track Changes > Accept or Reject Changes. You can choose to accept or reject all the changes in the document.

How to reinstate the functionality from Word 97 and Word 2000 in Word 2002 or Word 2003

If you have Word 2002 or 2003, and you liked the old Accept or Reject changes box, you can reinstate it. A sensible place to put this button is on the Reviewing toolbar. Tools > Customize. Click the Toolbars tab. Make sure that Reviewing is ticked. Now, click the Commands tab. In the Categories list, choose All Commands. In the Commands list, find ToolsReviewRevisions. Drag it to the Reviewing toolbar. Click Close to close the Customize dialog. There will now be a new button on the Reviewing toolbar called Accept or Reject Changes. If you're later prompted to save normal.dot, say yes.

Printing tracked changes

Q: How do I print out my document showing the tracked changes?

Word 2002 and 2003: File > Print. In the "Print What" box, choose Document showing Markup.

Word 2002 and before: Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes. Tick Highlight Changes in Printed Document.

Q: How do I print out my document without showing the tracked changes?

Word 2002 and 2003: File > Print. In the "Print What" box, choose Document.

Word 2002 and before: Tools > Track Changes > Highlight Changes. Un-tick Highlight Changes in Printed Document

Q: How do I print a list of the tracked changes in my document?

Word 2002 and 2003: File > Print. In the "Print What" box, choose List of Markup.

That functionality is not available in earlier versions of Word. But in earlier versions, you can print just the comments. File > Print. In the "Print What" box, choose Comments.

Working with more than one author or reviewer: Who did what?

Tip: Terminology trap!

Once upon a time, Microsoft invented "Track Changes". "Authors" put "changes" into their documents.

More recently, "Reviewers" make "revisions" to their documents. And "revisions" are one kind of "markup".

So, in Word 2002 and 2003, you display the work of a "Reviewer", but you may do so by choosing the colour "By Author".

Q: How do I see which changes were made by which author (also known as a reviewer)?

If several authors have reviewed the document while Track Changes was on, then you can identify the author (or reviewer) in several ways:

Hover the mouse over the tracked change. A balloon will appear that shows you the name of th
