Hello everyone! I work as a PA for 4 busy lawyers. They often ask the
impossible. The latest thing they asked, was for me to copy & paste the
markup and track changes from (a part from) one document into another
document. They simply receive a copy of the document, save it under a new
name, make their changes and send it back to me, asking me to put their
changes in the original document. If and when changes are limited, I can do
it myself. But is there a way around when you have huge portions of a
document in markup & track changes so you can copy & paste everything in a
swing? Thanks !
If you need to incorporate one set of changes, why do you need the
original document? The changed copy the lawyer sends back to you is the
original with his changes.
But, if you need to incorporate 4 sets of changes it gets more
difficult. You can use the Compare and Merge Documents command 4 times,
once for each changed document that is returned to you. Better yet, get
your lawyers to edit documents in series rather than in parallel, then
they can pass the same copy around.
