finding changes by a specific reviewer

[Bill McDonough]

I know how to tell one reviewer's changes from another (I'm talking
about changes, not comments). What I don't know is how to search for a
particular reviewer's changes. I have an 11,000 word document and I
want to find the changes made by a particular reviewer. How can I do
that without having to go through every single changes (there are
hundreds, if not thousands)?

Here's another question. What if, after receiving the document back
from a couple of reviewers, I want to make further changes but don't
want them to appear in the same color as my original changes?

Thank you!

In the Reviewing Toolbar (in Word 2004), choose from the Show popup menu
to filter by reviewer. Now you can just use the Next button in the
toolbar to move thru the changes just by that reviewer.

Sorry, you get no choice about the color, and you cannot layer in a
second instance of yourself the way you want to; we talked to someone at
Microsoft and they were amazed to hear that anyone wanted this, but of
course, everyone does. The workaround is to change your name as a user
in Word's preferences before you start editing the document. m.
