Word
has an editing feature called Track Changes. It functions differently in
Word 2007 (shown below) than it does in
Word 2000, or in Word 2003.
The Track Changes tool can be found under the Review tab
in the main menu. By clicking on the Track Changes button, you can
either turn it on or turn it off.
In the sample paragraph below, notice how the changes are indicated by
a different color. Usually, insertions are underlined and deletions
are marked with a strikethrough. In addition, detailed information can
be added in "call-outs" or as comments, in the margin area of the document.
Sample:

To
review the changes from editing, you can use the different viewing
options (shown below). In most cases, the Final view
shows the cleaned-up version, and the Final Showing
Markup view reveals the changes from editing. You can also compare
the Original to the
Final.

To review the editing, you can look
at each and every change one-by-one, and decide whether or not to
accept them. To remove All of the Tracks, and produce a Final document,
you can Accept All changes.
This may be irreversible; however, so you might want to make a copy
of the document first.
