Easiest tutorial I've ever watched, straight to the point. Thanks

[@erinwrightwriting]

[@krise8920]

This tutorial has been a lifesaver. Due to Covid-19, I am stuck marking my students' work online and I am technologically challenged to put it mildly. This has absolutely saved me and provided me with a clear and thorough understanding of how I can mark online. Thank you so very much for your time and effort.

[@erinwrightwriting]

I am delighted that my video has helped you during this challenging time!

[@thepurpleufo]

You are one of the few people who actually know how to create a tutorial. Great job...thank you.

[@Michael_Kiwanuka]

Erin, I just cannot understand why you do not have over a million subscribers. Your tutorials are proverbially worth their weight in gold. You are one of the best teachers I have ever had. Well done!

[@erinwrightwriting]

I truly appreciate your kind words! Thank you so much!

[@robin55gomes]

Excellent tutorial. I have been using Word for a long time, only for writing with formats, never for editing and markup. Erin explains each step clearly without hurry and fast talk so I could go back and forth an open Word document to try out the moves. It was like someone by my side guiding me through each step. One step though was not touched - saving the document.

What a clear video explaining track changes. When everyone (in a team for example) has finished tracking changes do you just accept or reject them, as appropriate, and then just turn it off by clicking on the "Track Changes" icon? I always seem to get documents with the changes down the side and can't "switch" them off! Thanks in advance, this video has gone a long way to me understanding the subject.

[@erinwrightwriting]

Hello, Colin. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, after all the tracking has been accepted or rejected, you should select the Track Changes button to turn it off. You can also change the Display for Review menu (right next to the Track Changes button, above the Show Markup menu) to "No Markup" to hide any remaining comments in the sidebar. Best of luck!

I have a doubt. It is showing cross marks above sentences during email attachment after using track change mode. Is there any way out for this.

[@erinwrightwriting]

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. I've never experienced that issue after emailing a Word document, so I'm afraid I can't offer a solution. If the problem didn't appear while you were using Track Changes, it might be an issue on the email recipient's end (such as an older version of Word). Best of luck!

[@ashisranjanudgata5526]

@@erinwrightwriting Let me explain the problem in detail. I have used track change mode for preparing a research paper. Then after final correction I have sent that research paper to editor of an journal through email. The editor told me to prepare a new file because due to track change mode there are various cross marks, red lines and underlines. Therefore I need a solution for that problem. Please let me know is there any out to remove all the cross marks and underlines without preparing a new file.

[@erinwrightwriting]

@@ashisranjanudgata5526 You can remove the tracking marks by either accepting or rejecting all of the changes. These options are available by selecting the down arrows in the Accept or Reject button in the Changes group in the Review tab. Best of luck!
