Jarrold’s changes to Black Beauty
!
Because what has been added to the document is visible and highlighted, this does not appear in the
Tracked Changes note. Only what has been replaced is noted. The document area always shows the
latest (most recent) version, while the Tracked Changes pane shows text that has been deleted or
replaced. Thus, if some text is added/inserted, it is merely marked as such and there is no old text to
show in the pane.
Stop tracking changes
Jarrold’s editor might want to make some changes to the document and not have them tracked.
▶
Choose (uncheck, turn off) the menu command Tools > Track Changes > Track Changes, or
▶
Click the Track Changes button on the Tool bar.
The Track Changes button reverts to its inactive state but continues to indicate how many
changes were made, as illustrated in Figure 372.
When Anna Sewell receives the edited version with the changes made, it is easy for her to review
them and either accept the changes or revert the text back to the way it was. The Track Changes
Toolbar button will indicate the number of outstanding changes (the number of changes that
remain to be accepted or rejected), even if Jarrold’s editor had closed the Tracked Changes pane
and saved the file with Track Changes turned off before returning the file.
Copying and pasting text with tracked changes
!
Beware.
When you copy text in one document that has tracked changes in it, even if the tracked changes are
hidden and you cannot see them, you copy those tracked changes as well.
If you paste the text with tracked changes into a new document those hidden tracked changes will
remain hidden until you (or someone else) chooses the menu command Tools > Track Changes >
Show Changes.
View and review tracked changes
▶
Choose (check, turn on) the menu Tools > Track Changes > Show Changes.
This opens the Tracked Changes pane. Unless you have changed the Tracking and Display
Options this command also checks (turns on) Highlight Changes in Text. so that the display of
your tracked changes appears as illustrated in in Figure 374.
Hide and show only the Track Changes pane
You may want to work with the Tracked Changes pane closed, but with some indicator that your
document has changes. You can close the pane and retain the highlighted selection of changed text.
