Tip
Not all changes are recorded. For example, changing a tab
stop from align left to align right and changes in formulas
(equations) or linked graphics are not recorded.
Preparing a document for review
When you send a document to someone else to review or edit, you may
want to prepare it first so that the editor or reviewer does not have to
remember to turn on the revision marks. After you have protected the
document, any user must enter the correct password in order to turn
off the function or accept or reject changes.
1) Open the document. To check whether it contains multiple
versions, click File > Versions. If multiple versions are listed,
save the current version as a separate document with a different
name and use this new document as the review copy.
2) With the review copy open, make sure that change recording is
turned on. The Edit > Changes > Record menu item has a
check mark next to it when recording is turned on.
3) Click Edit > Changes > Protect Records. On the Enter
Password dialog box, type a password (twice) and click OK.
Note
Passwords must contain at least five characters. It is not
necessary to password protect the document while preparing it
for review.
Recording changes
See Chapter 2 (Setting up Writer) for instructions on setting up how
your changes will be displayed.
1) To begin tracking (recording) changes, click Edit > Changes >
Record. To show or hide the display of changes, click Edit >
Changes > Show.
Tip
Hold the mouse pointer over a marked change; you will see a
Help Tip
showing the type of change, the author, date, and
time of day for the change. If
Extended Tips
are enabled, you
will also see any comments recorded for this change.
2) To enter a comment on a marked change, place the cursor in the
area of the change and then click Edit > Changes > Comment.
(See Figure 87.) In addition to being displayed as an extended tip,
the comment is also displayed in the list in the Accept or Reject
Changes dialog box.
