Word 2004 for Mac has faulty document merge
I'd like to have several people work on their own copies of one
document, and then merge them back into the first, and see the changes of each person. I tried testing this out with Word 2004 for Mac, by first creating a single document, then making several copies (using Save As..), each with a different name in the filename (FILE - Bob, FILE - Sam, etc.). I opened each one up, changed my user information to that person's name, and made changes to the document, with Track Changes on. I did the same for each file/user. Then, I opened up the original document, changed my name to Bob Reviewer, and tried merging it with each file, using Merge Documents. Here's the screwy thing: Even though the dialogue box made it clear that I was merging the selected file into the current document (i.e. "FILE - Bob" into "FILE - original"), the result was that the original file remained unchanged, and I was now looking at the copy with the changes! In other words, it had opened "FILE - Bob" with the tracked changes marked, but didn't do jack to "FILE - original"! |
