Review in Word 2007
Customizing revision marks
You can easily change an appearance of revision marks in your document. Track Changes dialog box
gives you full control on the insertions, deletions, formatting and other revision marks.
Viewing document and readability statistics
Writing simple and easy to understand documents is a unique ability that lays somewhere between art and
science. Microsoft Word can help you to improve you writing skills by providing readability statistic
metrics.
Displaying Word Count Statistics
Sometimes you need to see a word count statistics without obtaining readability or AutoSummarize
information. For example, you might have been given a limit on how many words a document can be for a
particular assignment - magazines and newspapers commonly set this type of limit.
Getting to the Point with AutoSummarize
Word can automatically summarize key points in documents, enabling you to create brief versions of documents
that readers can quickly scan. You'll find that AutoSummarize works best on structured documents such
as reports, white papers, technical documents, articles, and so forth. AutoSummarize does not work
especially well for fiction, correspondence, and other more loosely structured documents.
View documents side by side
You can easily view two Word documents using View Side by Side feature. Synchronous scrolling makes
it extremely convenient.
Skip spelling and grammar check for the selected text
Sometimes you need to skip parts of the document during a spell check. E.g., memos and letters can have
headings and address blocks with names and other text that slow down the spell checker. Blocks of
programming code or foreign words should not be checked for spelling too.
Also you may need to quote words and phrases with mistakes.

Align text vertically on the page
You can align text between the top and bottom margins of a page if the text on the page does not fill the
page. For example, centering text vertically often improves the appearance of short business letters or
report cover pages.
Using Research pane: thesaurus, dictionary and translation tools
With Research pane you can: find synonyms (a word that means essentially the same thing as the word
it replaces) and antonyms (a word that means the opposite of the selected word), while Word's thesaurus
primarily finds synonyms; search words in public dictionaries (e.g., Encarta World Dictionary); translate
words and texts.
The Master Document View
Word master document enables you to: cross-reference items among several documents; create indexes, tables
of contents, and lists that span several documents; easily assign consistent page numbering, headers, and
other formatting across multiple documents; etc.
A book is ideally suited to the master document feature. Each chapter can be a subdocument, and the elements common to the entire book can be contained in the master document itself.

How to review Tracked Changes
When you've created a document and sent it out to your colleagues for editing, you'll probably need to
review the tracked changes and decide which to keep and which to jettison.
