Track Changes
Track changes is an invaluable tool for an author. Some people, however, find it intimidating as it can look confusing. I've found it to be a useful learning tool as it lets an author see what (and how much) I've done.

- Microsoft Word's "Track Changes" feature clearly shows any alterations introduced to the document, such as deleted or added words or sections. You can review which parts have been edited--they appear in colored text--and choose whether you will accept or reject the changes. If you accept the changes, Word will incorporate the changes into the original document so that no editing or colored text appears; no one will know that anyone has edited or altered the document.
Accept Changes One at a Time
- Click the "Review" button.
- Click the button above the word "Accept," in the "Changes" module. This button displays a blank page, a blue check mark and a pencil. When you click it, Word moves to the first recorded change, showing it in bold.
Alternatively, click the button labeled "Accept." A drop-down menu will appear; click "Accept and Move to Next."
- Click your chosen button again, if you approve of the change. Word will accept the change and move to the next change.
- Repeat for each change until you have accepted (or rejected) all changes in the document.
Accept All Changes at Once
- Click the "Review" tab.
- Click the button labeled "Accept," in the "Changes" module. A drop-down menu will appear.
- Click "Accept All Changes in Document."
