[blindlaw] Revisions not showing up in virtual viewer

Hello all,

I found out about this feature only recently, but it doesn't work for
me either. How about we all agree to collectively contact Freedom
Scientific and advocate that they do something about it? For the low,
low price of $900, I don't think we in the legal profession should
have to cobble together work-arounds and waste precious efficiency
time just to access the most mainstream group editing feature used by
the most mainstream software manufacturer. I have used trackchanges
daily since 2l and now in the working world, and I sure as heck could
do a lot more productive things with my day if I didn't have to spend
so much time finagling with this particular feature. I, for one, will
let them know about my issue tomorrow.
