Notes

• For best results when merging changes from multiple reviewers, click Options on the Tools menu, and then make sure the Store random number to improve merge accuracy check box is selected.
• Microsoft Word can store only one set of formatting changes at a time. Therefore, when you merge multiple documents, you may be prompted to decide whether you want to keep the formatting from the original document or use the formatting from the edited document. If you don't need to track formatting changes, you can clear the Find formatting check box in the Compare and Merge Documents dialog box.
