Word 2010 Revision Marks

I would like to be able to track changes in a Word 2010 document, at a summary level.

In other words, for all additions, deletions and changes to the text I do not want to see the detail of each update but I would like to see a revision mark (vertical line) in the margin.

This will permit me to indicate to the audience that my document has changed in those marked places since the previous edition. The document will be published as a PDF.

Can I do this in Word 2010?

Thanks
Dave

Answer

Yes, set the attribute for deleted text to be hidden and for inserted text, have it so that it appears as normal text (none) and make the appropriate setting for the Changed lines item (Keft, Right or Outside)

These settings can be applied via the "Change Tracking Options" item on the Track Changes pulldown in the Tracking section of the Review tab of the ribbon.

Hope this helps,
