INTRODUCTION
Suppose you're editing another person's document or are working on a report in a team environment. If so, it's a great idea to track the changes to the document through the use of revision marks. That way, other people can easily see what changes have been made to the document, and by whom.
TIP
Disabling Document Tracking
You can quickly turn off Word's document-tracking feature by double-clicking TRK on the status bar.
TIP
Tracking Names
When you place the mouse pointer over a revision mark, the username of the person who made the edit is displayed in a ScreenTip.
