merging word documents
I have to merge several peoples changes into a single document. Each person
created their own copy of the doc, made their changes with tracking on. Now when I attempt to merge I get the message "The merged documents contain unmarked changes. Do you want to merge up to the first untracked change?" Select "yes", no change. What does this message mean? What's causing it? How do I get past this and accomplish what I'm trying to do. |

merging word documents
Hi ?B?THlsZUJfQXVzdGlu?=,
I have to merge several peoples changes into a single document. Each person created their own copy of the doc, made their changes with tracking on. Now when I attempt to merge I get the message "The merged documents contain unmarked changes. Do you want to merge up to the first untracked change?" Select "yes", no change. What does this message mean? What's causing it? How do I get past this and accomplish what I'm trying to do. In this case, you should start with ONE of the documents and accept/reject the changes. Turn off change tracking. Save it (to a new name, preferably, so that you don't lose the original in case problems occur). Now open one of the other documents and accept ALL the changes. Now you can merge this document with the first one. Differences between the two will be shown as tracked changes. Accept or reject these. Repeat these last two steps until all files have been processed. Note: there is no way to combine all these separate files and retain who has made which suggestions.
