[stylist] Track Changes

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Lori,
the "track changes"  option  is particularly useful if one document 
is being worked on by more than one person.  it identifies changes 
made in the document, kinda builds a history of them.  also useful if 
you need to document the process of developing a document.
I once opened a document that had "track changes" turned on,  wow 
that was irritating!  Word was recording every change I made in the 
document to send back to the source.
