Display Track Changes Date/Time stamp in Reviewing Pane
I quite often want to find which parts of a document I was editing on a
particular day or at a particular time. This information shows up in the tooltips when you hover over the change, but that isn't much help when you want to scan quickly through a whole lot of changes in a document you may have kept returning to over an extended period. A logical place to display this time stamp info would be to add it as a feature (perhaps an optional feature) in the Reviewing Pane. As far as I can see this is not presently possible. Better still would be to have a way to search the reviewing pane to find changes by date or time, but even the simple addition of the time stamp data to the existing reviewing pane so that you can quickly run your eye down it would considerably boost its utility. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Display Track Changes Date/Time stamp in Reviewing Pane
Hi David,
A logical place to display this time stamp info would be to add it as a feature (perhaps an optional feature) in the Reviewing Pane. As far as I can see this is not presently possible. Do you mind if I ask which version of Word you're using? I have Word 2007 and I see the date/time stamp in the Reviewing pane, for each entry. It's at the right-hand side of the "title bar" for the entry. (On the left, the action taken; in the middle the author name; at the right, the date/time).

Display Track Changes Date/Time stamp in Reviewing Pane
Hi Cindy,
Thanks for your reply - which is very interesting, but also baffling. I'm using Word 2007, and in my reviewing pane the "title bar" for each entry simply has, on the left, Inserted, or Deleted, or Comment (plus Comment Number), etc., and on the right the author/reviewer name. Nothing else. What you describe is exactly what I want. But I've looked everywhere I can think of - on the Ribbon and in Word Options - and I can't find any way to change settings to get what you describe. So it turns out to be a mystery rather than a suggestion for Microsoft. Not sure if your reply was reassuring or the opposite, but I do appreciate it!

I've looked for almost an hour and I can't find it, either. OTOH I did find a way to change something that simply started on its own and has been bothering me for some time... You might try running the Office diagnostics and see if that finds a problem in the Word installation and repairs it. Ah, one other thought: were these documents created in Word 2007, or are you opening documents created and edited in an earlier version of Word?

Display Track Changes Date/Time stamp in Reviewing Pane
Hi Cindy
I posted a reply yesterday that seems not to have gone through, so this is to thank you once more for your trouble, and to say that the Date/Time stamp is missing from the reviewing pane whether I'm working on an older pre-Word 2007 document, or a newly created .docx document. Office Diagnostics simply reports that my Office 2007 installation needs to be updated, but on the other hand Windows Update (my OS is Vista Business) disagrees and tells me that I already have all necessary updates for all programs including Office. So I do at least know that either Office Diagnostics or Windows Update is faulty. Maybe I will eventually try reinstalling Office 2007 and then updating it all over again, but another solution will be to simply adjust my priorities and get on with other things!
