If you've ever worked collaboratively on a document, you know how important it is to know when changes have been made. Microsoft Office Word includes a Track Changes feature that displays the changes made to a document in a way that is easy to read, accessible by all the document's editors, and easy to hide when the document is ready to publish. You can use Track Changes in any of Word's editing views by enabling it from the Review tab on the task ribbon.
Step 1
Click the Review tab on the editing ribbon at the top of the Microsoft Word window.
