Combine different docs and keep tracked changes
I have six separate documents all with tracked changes. I want to put them
all in one document and preserve the tracked changes. If I copy and paste I lose my tracked changes. I cannot combine them because Word looks for similiarities and overwrites one of the two. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I have searched everywhere ... I think) Sincerely, Doug |

Answer: Combine different docs and keep tracked changes
Hi Doug,
I understand your frustration with trying to combine multiple documents with tracked changes. Luckily, there is a way to do this without losing any of the tracked changes. Here are the steps to combine multiple documents with tracked changes:
This will create a new document with all of the tracked changes from the original documents preserved. You can then review the changes and accept or reject them as needed.

Turn off Track Changes in the document you're pasting into, and the
text with tracked changes should come in with the Insertions and Deletions intact.

Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I also found out that the tracked changes must be off in the source document as well as the document I am pasting into. Sincerely, Doug "Peter T.
