Position<br />

Allows you to set the position of the comments pane: right, left, outside, or<br />

inside.<br />

Changes group box<br />

The rest of the dialog contains additional options that pertain not to comments, but<br />

to the “Track changes” function (see the next section).<br />

Tracking changes in a document<br />

After you enable the “Track changes” function, you can continue, just as before, to<br />

make whatever changes you like in a document. However, the changes are not<br />

immediately applied, but are highlighted in color and saved in the document as<br />

“proposed changes”.<br />

Subsequently, you – or another user – can review these changes and then separately<br />

accept or reject each of them. If a change is accepted, it is applied permanently to<br />

the document; if it is rejected, it is removed.<br />

This function is especially useful when several users in succession will edit a<br />

document. An example: A co-worker composes a document and gives it to you to<br />

correct. You enable the “Track changes” function and make the desired changes.<br />

Then you return the document to the author. She can now accept or reject separately<br />

each of your changes with the press of a button.<br />

Thus, revising a document with the help of the “Track changes” function involves<br />

three steps:<br />

Step 1: Enabling the “Track changes” function<br />

Step 2: Making the desired changes<br />

Step 3: Accepting/rejecting the individual changes<br />
