Tracking Your Edits
The Track Changes feature facilitates online editing. When you enable Track Changes, Microsoft Word will show some edits within the text of your document. However, in order to preserve the layout of your document, Word will display other edits in balloons that appear in the margin. The balloons usually show deletions, formatting changes, and comments, while the in-text changes usually reflect additions.

  2. Click on the word Tools in the Menu bar.

  7. When you have completed the editing, click on the word File in the menu bar.
  8. Choose the option Save As.
  9. The Save As dialog will appear.
  10. Make sure you save the edited document with a new name.
