The editing process and how to use track-changes in Microsoft Word
On the “Review” tab select the “Final Showing Markup” view:
Alterations and comments made by the LucidPapers editor should be highlighted in the text and
by a mark in the margin:
The way in which the alterations and comments appear can be changed in the “Review” tab
under Track Changes > Change Tracking Options:
We recommend the settings above. Insertions – colour only; Deletions – strikethrough; Changed
lines – Outside border; Formatting – (none); Use Balloons – Only for comments/formatting.
By right-clicking on a change made by the LucidPapers editor, you can either accept or reject it:
Again by right-clicking, comments can be deleted once you have dealt with them:
If you prefer not to go through each alteration and comment individually, you can switch from
the “Final Showing Markup” view to the “Final” view here:
You can then read through the entire manuscript in its edited form, and, if you are happy,
accept all the changes made by the LucidPapers editor by clicking here:
When you are happy with the manuscript in its final form, make sure it is in the “Final” view, and
then save the file to your computer or network.
