Lesson 9 – Working with Comments and Revisions

NOTE By default, the vertical Reviewing Pane opens to the left of the Compared 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 Compared Document pane. Use the Show Source Documents button to hide or display either document. NOTE If either of the documents you are comparing already contain tracked changes, Word displays a message box warning that, if you proceed, the existing tracked changes are marked as accepted and asking whether you want to continue. The options available in the extended dialog box that is displayed when you click the More button in the Compare Documents dialog box are shared with the Combine Documents feature. Changes to the options in either the Compare Documents or Combine Documents dialog box will become the new default settings for both Compare Documents and Combine Documents. Always check the options when comparing or combining documents.
