If any dialog boxes appear, click OK to continue. Word represents the edited portions in the same way as the Track Changes feature, and changes can be accepted or rejected, as explained above. To view merged Annotations, go to the View menu and select Comments . To merge multiple copies, repeat steps 1-4 above. Word identifies each different editor with different color text and the name of each editor for each change can be revealed by putting the mouse cursor over the change.
Word overwrites the previous versions of the document as it merges additional copies.
Where possible, changes made by different editors are made evident by different color text, but some changes, especially where different editors make the same changes to the same text, can be lost in the merge of documents .
