Determine the kinds of changes Nisus Writer Pro tracks
▶
In the Change Tracking section at the top of the dialog decide what kinds of changes should be
tracked in the document.
Turn on or off:
• Track text insertions and deletions
• Track formatting changes
• Track changes made to styles, eg: in the Style Sheet
These controls have no effect on the display of what changes have already been made, only
what kinds of changes will actually be tracked.
Display changes of a particular author
• In the Display Options section, decide whose changes should be displayed in the document. If
many people have read and made changes to a document it can become busy with changes
even with the comments turned off, as illustrated in Figure 375.
In the imaginary situation where Anna Sewell had sent her text to her publisher, the primary
editor left the manuscript on the office server overnight. Two other readers could not control
themselves and their edits were tracked by Nisus Writer Pro. When the text finally returned to
Anna, her “editors” had all made their changes. She could hardly recognize her novel. One had
made changes to formatting, which was not serious if she was considering publishing an EPUB
version. Nisus Writer Pro could help her with that as explained in the section “Export As…” on
page 54. However, Anna was truly only interested in the textual changes. Jarrold’s changes had
been tracked and were illustrated in Figure 374 on page 341. They are displayed in pink in
Figure 375. Opting to examine the changes of the “editor” who made primarily textual changes,
Anna chose to display only those changes, as illustrated in Figure 376 on page 344.
The other editors’ names appear below All Authors in the pop-up menu labeled Show changes
made by in the Display options portion of the Track Changes Options dialog illustrated in
Figure 377.

Similar to the way Comment Display Options functions (as explained on page 330), if you
change the display to show a particular author, Nisus Writer Pro automatically switches to
show the edits by that author only.
When you switch back to show All Authors, Nisus Writer Pro shows all the edits.
