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"! |
