Soon, I will be sending a document out for review to two different people.
Am I correct that I can use the Document Revision tools to send it out to both of them at the same time? And there is a way in which the changes from both people can be incorporated into the original? If this is correct, can someone give me a quick tour of how this is done? I'll catch on quickly... -- Rick A. Pleasanton CA |

Open the Reviewing Toolbar. Use the Track Changes button to turn on Track
Changes. Then send the document out for review. The returned documents should come back with changes clearly marked by User. You can then use the accept or reject option on the toolbar or possibly the AcceptAll if you are happy with the changes. You can then use the Compare or Combine command to integrate these changes into your final document. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Rick Altman" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Terry -- I want to make sure I understand this:
1. I create a document. 2. I send it out to two people. 3. They return them with revisions. 4. I can then combine/merge their changes into my original. Is that right?

Between 1 and 2, you must enable Track Changes; between 3 and 4, accept or
reject the changes. Then those are the steps needed. Terry "Rick Altman" wrote in message ... Thanks, Terry -- I want to make sure I understand this: 1. I create a document. 2.

I would think this would leave Rick with two separate documents to which
different users may have made different changes to the same text. Unless I have misunderstood and he is going to send it first to Reviewer No. 1 and then to Reviewer No. 2 - if so, then he can either leave the first reviewer's comments and changes untouched so the second reviewer can see them, or he can accept/reject as desired and then send the document on.

That was why I insisted on elaboration: these documents will be going out to
two people at once, their changes will be included on two separate sets of revisions, and I will want some way of incorporating their changes into my origianal document so I can then accept or reject them as I choose.

Then check the answers Cindy gave you in the other NG. (And please don't
post the same question separately into two different groups. If you want to ask across multiple groups, include them all in the heading -don't repeat the post as a stand-alone. If you had posted to both groups concurrently, Cindy's answer would show up here for all the others to see, and she would have seen all the answers you've already been given.)

I'm sure that Cindy will have put your straight then.

Calm down, please.
I discovered this group and posted in it because nobody answered me in the other group. Cindy's answer came subsequently. Then check the answers Cindy gave you in the other NG.
