Track Changes

 

When turned on, Track Changes will mark and highlight any change you or others make to a document. When you add text, Track Changes shows the text as coloured and underlined. When you delete text, you can still see it, but it is marked as strikethrough so you can see exactly what was deleted. You can access Track Changes and all its features in the Tracking group in the Review tab on the ribbon in Microsoft Word 2007. Once you have turned on Track Changes and edited a document, use the Changes group to navigate the changes, and Accept or Reject the changes made.
