If you are working with an MS Word document in the laptop lab, do the following:

  1. With the document open, click on file-> Save As-> and add WS-YourInitials to the document name just before the .doc.

    For example: My initials are ALB. If the file was originally named EngEss1.doc, I would save as EngEss1WS-ALB.doc

    Why? This way the person whose work is being reviewed can tell the difference between versions.

  2. Click on Tools--> Track Changes (Ctrl-Sh-E). The Reviewing Toolbar should appear. Make sure it reads "Final Showing Markup." If it doesn't, click on the menu to select it (it is one of many options).
