If you have Word 2003, here’s how to enable Track Changes: Now when you start tracking, you’ll see change lines in the left margin of all your pages as you make changes. When you decide to accept or reject a change in the document that you or someone else has made, here’s how to mark the change as accepted or rejected in Word 2007 and later: If you click Accept, the change line disappears and the text stays. If you click Reject, the change line disappears, and the text is deleted. In either case, Track Changes moves to the next change in the document and you can decide if you want to accept or reject the next change. If you use Word 2003, here’s what to do: Here’s how to lock tracking in Word 2007 and later: When Lock Tracking is on, no one else can turn off Track Changes and can’t accept or reject changes, but they can make any comments or changes of their own. Here’s what to do when you’re ready to turn off Track Changes in Word 2007 and later: If you have Word 2003, here’s how to lock changes so no one else can delete or edit anyone else’s changes: When you want to turn off lock changes, repeat the first three steps above to remove all editing restrictions. After you unlock Track Changes, note that Track Changes is still on, so you can continue to make changes to the document. You’ll also be able to accept or reject changes from other users who have edited and/or written comments in the document. The second option will cause all markup in your document to disappear. When you make changes and/or add more text, you won’t see any markup appear in your document. If you have Word 2003, follow the same instructions you used when you turn on Track Changes. The only difference you’ll see is that the icon isn’t highlighted any longer, which means the feature is off.
