OBJECTIVE 1.2: Contents

Preparing a document for review can involve several steps. You might turn on change tracking and select options for how Word tracks changes and displays revisions. You might also need to restrict the editing of a document so that reviewers can only enter comments, for example, and not make changes directly to the text. You can also specify sections of a document that can be edited only by certain individuals.

Word also provides options to protect a document with a password and to mark a document as final, which notifies users who open the document that the document is considered complete.
