MS Word Feature Suggestion: Summary of Changes in Documents

B

Ben Shalom

I would like to suggest the following feature:

Need:
Often it is needed to summarize the changes in a document (either created by
"Compare documents" function or "Track Changes"). This will allow easier
review of changes in some cases, and the creation of amending documents.
this is especially relevant for legal users.

Suggested feature:
1. A menu function that will create a new, derived document, that accounts
all changes in the original document, in a plain format and wording.
2. If a paragraph includes more than X changes, then the derived document
shall specify the new wording for the entire paragraph.
3. If a specific phrase or word is replaced in the entire document, it would
be represented as such.

Ben Shalom.
