That’s the easy way.īut, since I like to show you more than one solution to a problem, let’s look at the menu-based way to enable revision tracking because it gives you more control over exactly what’s going to be tracked. In the latest version of Microsoft Word for the Apple platform there are all sorts of toolbars along the top that can be enabled (Microsoft calls them “ribbons”), including one that’s specifically designed to work with document reviewing and revision management. It’s no wonder that all the other word processing programs offer this feature too, including Pages and Google Docs! Whether someone’s fixing the spelling of a word, reorganizing paragraphs or sneaking a sentence into the middle of the longest paragraph, revision controls are a splendid way to keep track of what’s happening with your documents. But there’s one feature that I’ve always relied on with MS Word as a writer, and that’s revision tracking. Microsoft Word is a great example of software that has a million and one capabilities, 80-90% of which people don’t use.
