Track changes while you edit You can easily make and view tracked changes and comments while you work in a document. By default, Microsoft Office Word 2007 uses balloons to display deletions, comments, formatting changes, and content that has moved. If you want to see all of your changes inline, you can change settings so that tracked changes and comments display the way you want. Balloons show formatting changes, comments, and deletions. Review tracked changes and comments To prevent you from inadvertently distributing documents that contain tracked changes and comments, Word displays tracked changes and 7

8 comments by default. Final Showing Markup is the default option in the Display for Review box. In Microsoft Office Word, you can track each insertion, deletion, move, formatting change, or comment that you make so that you can review all of the changes later. The Reviewing Pane displays all of the changes that currently appear in your document, the total number of changes, and the number of changes of each type. As you review tracked changes and comments, you can accept or reject each change. Until you accept or reject all tracked changes and comments in a document, even hidden changes will appear to viewers in documents you send or display. 8
