The “official” Microsoft Word 2003 version:

 

Track changes while you edit

 

 

  1. Open the document you want to revise.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Track Changes.

When the Track Changes feature is enabled, TRK appears on the status bar (status bar: A horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen that displays information about the current condition of the program, such as the status of items in the window, the progress of the current task, or information about the selected item.) at the bottom of your document. When you turn off change tracking, TRK is dimmed.

With a quick glance over the word it might not make people immediately say take notice–but it was there nonetheless.) Luckily, though, that is why we get the print galley.

Assuming I get it all turned in on time, the release date for the print version of Trading Faces is June 30, 2009 — WOOHOO! 

OH and to add another challenge–thanks to Sandy J and Ames (and the stupid DH for posting high school pics) I have succumbed to the Face Book temptation–dern them!

Oh well. Life is never dull is it?!?!?!?
