Time Based Track Changes in MS Word 2013

Hi Guys,

I have a lengthly legal agreement which I have been working through each day, for the past 10 days in track changes mode. Each time I make an edit, the relevant edit appears in track on the right hand side of the page, with the date stamp on the top of the track change as its supposed to. 

How do I view track changes in chronological order? For example, I would like to see all the changes that I made yesterday only in the document, without having to run my eyes over each and every track change to see which ones have yesterdays date stamp on it.

Many thanks and well done in advance to the person who cracks this!

AFAIK, the only way to do this is to be a different reviewer every day. That is, change your identity slightly before making the edits. You will then be able to display just the "reviewer" for the previous day. Not really a practical solution, however.

To change your identity, make a slight change in the user name and initials at File | Options | General and check the box for "Always use these values regardless of sign in to Office."
