The result is a table showing the file name and insertions, deletions and comments (but not format changes) labelled by type and page number. On my Mac, I find the option at File > Print and go to settings for Microsoft Word and select Print What: List of markup. In that drop-down menu, select List of Markup.

On my PC, I go to File > Print and click on the arrow at Print All Pages. It turns out that Word lets you print out a list of tracked changes and comments – another case of finding really useful capabilities when you look further into Word’s menu options. I found four main techniques for producing a summary of edits: This applies in other scenarios too, even for people who are familiar with Track Changes. I used a clumsy work-around at the time, but being able to give them a summary of edits and comments would have been very useful. Maybe they were simply inexperienced with Track Changes. I wanted my client to see my tracked edits, but they seemed to not see the edits at all, even my comments. Since then, I’ve come across some solutions in Word too.


A few months ago, I wrote about having trouble getting an author to see my tracked changes in Word (and showed a solution for that problem in PDFs).
