Deleting/adding pages with tracked changes

[wordwiz]

Hello.

When working on a Word doc, and using the Track Changes tool so the
comments appear off to the left in those read dialog boxes, how can I
extract just a few pages as new document to work on. But -- keeping
the tracked changes. If I merely copy the section I want, and paste it
into a new doc, the Tracked changes disappear.

Then assuming I can find a way to extract that doc /tracked changes in
tact, how can then re-insert them (with the tracked changes) back into
the original doc. I hope my questions are clearly stated.

I'm a techno dufus. Help!!!

Thanks.

Hi Charlie,

See the "how to copy" section of this page (second to last in contents
listing)
http://shaunakelly.com/word/trackchanges/HowTrackChangesWorks.html

Which has lots of useful information about Track Changes. It's written
for Windows Word, but all the principles are the same, sometimes
keyboard shortcuts or menu commands are different.

You can change the color of the track changes balloons via Word |
Preferences | Track Changes, if you don't want red, by the way.

I'm curious--why do you want to extract just a few pages at all?

Hi, Dalya - thanks so much for the information. To answer your
question, when you're editing a book manuscript, you sometimes need to
extract one or two chapters to work on and email separately from the
entire manuscript which can run into the hundreds and hundreds of
pages.

All the best,

Charlie

Ah yes...I was picturing you extracting a few pages from a chapter, and
that confused me. But editing a chapter at a time, of course.

Post back if anything on the link I gave doesn't make sense or more
questions come up.

Hi, Daiya.

Thanks again.

If you're in NYC, stay warm.
