how does one send a document for review in Word 2007?

[Guest]

Is it true that the send for review function has disappeared in Word 2007?
Is there a better way than attaching the document to an email? For
recipients on the same network I suppose sending a link to the original
document would work but how do you make sure track changes is turned on?

In the Review tab, click Protect Document, Restrict Formatting and Editing.
When the Protect Document Task pane opens, in step 2, select "Allow only
this type of editing in the document: Tracked Changes" and then start
enforcing protection. Then when others open the document it will
automatically start tracking changes. With the Protect Document feature
turned on, they will have to unprotect the document to turn off the Tracked
Changes. If you choose to password protect the document, I would highly
suggest that you write it down somewhere so that you will be able to turn
off tracked changes when it is appropriate to do so.

The Send For Review command is still available:

- Click the More button at the end of the Quick Access Toolbar and then
click More Commands.
- In the Choose Commands from list, select Commands not in the Ribbon
- Locate Send for Review in the list, either double-click it or select it
and click the Add button to add it to your Quick Access Toolbar.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
