Tracking Changes

[MicrosoftMD]

Can I make text already part a of document to be part of tracking changes
after the fact? If yes, how do I do it?

 

[Peter T. Daniels]

You could Undo everything you've done, turn on Track Changes, and
retype it all. (The Redo button will redo everything you just undid,
but it won't mark the redo's as Tracked Changes.)

The Undo list survives saves, but not closing the file.

 

[Stefan Blom]

It's not obvious what exactly you are trying to accomplish, but if there is
an existing piece of text that you want to mark as an insertion, you can do
the following: Turn off Track Changes, cut the text, turn on Track Changes
again, and paste the text back in.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

If you have a previous version of the document (without the added text), you
can use Tools | Compare Documents to add markup that is comparable to Track
Changes.
