The explanation is: your professor is talking from a position of ignorance.
He seems to have a dim inkling of the 'track changes' feature, which can
show an original document and subsequent edits, but only if it's been set up
that way and switched on.

A Professor of mine actually asked our class this question, and is
despirate
for an answer. I figured that this would be the place to ask such a query.

According to the professor, this "edit function" would show the original
paper with the corrections written over it. The question is directed
towards
the Microsoft Word Program (circa 2003), and if you would be so kind to
offer
an explanation for this, I would truly appreciate it.


Thank you for your time.
