Dear all
We write many letters to clients. Rather than addressing letters from scratch we normally overwrite a previous letter (saves us checking for the most current address / contact name etc).
Occasionally we need to send letters to other offices to be reviewed. Normally, the reviewer tracks changes so the author can easily see where the changes are.
If you keep on revising letters in this way, tracked changes gets a little confusing as it shows text from several letters before.
Is there any way of opening an old document, resetting the track changes, and then composing the required draft so that when the document is checked and amended the only tracked changes are the most recent?
Alternatively can I draft the document and then copy it all to a new document without copying old amendments? (I thought I would be able to deactivate track changes on the draft and new document, then copy and paste, but when I activated track changes in the new document old amendments were shown).
I admit that ideally there would be a template document with no text, but this was never a process that was put in place.
I'm far more at home with excel or access than word so all ideas welcomed.
Thanks in advance
