Only one person should have control of the document creation. You preferably or someone writes the original. Create a PDF from the original, and send it to the other members individually. They should be instructed to use the annotation feature to send feedback of what they would like to see changed. *NO* editing of the original text. That leaves you with the original text to compare with the changes that individual wants. You realize, of course, that when you send a document to someone to solicit their input, you're generally sending a "copy". Most people wouldn't work on a document, send a copy to a colleague, delete their local copy, and then hope for the best. ;-) G Yep. What would usually happen for me was someone would delete the original text and simply insert their text, leaving me with nothing to compare. You always have the original document, so you can use that for comparisons if someone forgets to use Track Changes. I'm not sure when Word gained the Compare feature. I didn't use that feature often, so to me it seems like it's always been there. |
