copy and paste
I am working with several co-authors on a draft of a paper. They send their
drafts back as email attachments (I use OUTLOOK). Once I open their attachment in Word, I want to copy and paste their email comments into the word document (such that I have the word document that includes the email comments as opposed to having to open the email again AND the document). The problem: when I copy from the email and paste into the Word document (using the track changes feature), the sentences from the email are inverted (meaning a sentence might look like this "that what is being characterizedI agree with the gist of your comments, . I've finally read thru the paper" instead of like this "I've finally read thru the paper. I agree with the gist of your comments, that what is being characterized is") Help? |

Why don't you suggest that your co-authors use Word's built-in reviewing
tools (Track Changes and Comments) instead of writing their comments in the cover email? -- Suzanne S.

That would be great if they had done that. I had asked them to go so but
still some made other general comments in the email. Any other ideas? "Suzanne S.
