Soon, I will be sending a document out for review to two different people.
Am I correct that I can use the Document Revision tools to send it out to
both of them at the same time? And there is a way in which the changes from
both people can be incorporated into the original? If this is correct, can
someone give me a quick tour of how this is done? I'll catch on quickly...

Open the Reviewing Toolbar. Use the Track Changes button to turn on Track
Changes. Then send the document out for review. The returned documents
should come back with changes clearly marked by User. You can then use the
accept or reject option on the toolbar or possibly the AcceptAll if you are
happy with the changes.

You can then use the Compare or Combine command to integrate these changes
into your final document.

Thanks, Terry -- I want to make sure I understand this:

1. I create a document.

2. I send it out to two people.

3. They return them with revisions.

4. I can then combine/merge their changes into my original.


Is that right?

Between 1 and 2, you must enable Track Changes; between 3 and 4, accept or
reject the changes. Then those are the steps needed.

I would think this would leave Rick with two separate documents to which
different users may have made different changes to the same text. Unless I
have misunderstood and he is going to send it first to Reviewer No. 1 and
then to Reviewer No. 2 - if so, then he can either leave the first
reviewer's comments and changes untouched so the second reviewer can see
them, or he can accept/reject as desired and then send the document on.

That was why I insisted on elaboration: these documents will be going out to
two people at once, their changes will be included on two separate sets of
revisions, and I will want some way of incorporating their changes into my
origianal document so I can then accept or reject them as I choose.

Then check the answers Cindy gave you in the other NG. (And please don't
post the same question separately into two different groups. If you want to
ask across multiple groups, include them all in the heading -don't repeat
the post as a stand-alone. If you had posted to both groups concurrently,
Cindy's answer would show up here for all the others to see, and she would
have seen all the answers you've already been given.)

I'm sure that Cindy will have put your straight then.

Calm down, please.

I discovered this group and posted in it because nobody answered me in the
other group. Cindy's answer came subsequently.
