Hi
Hi, how are you doing?
This was great Erin, this is actually the second time I'm coming back to this because it's been a while since I've had to do this! Appreciate your efforts.
Welcome back! I really appreciate your kind words!
This is a very useful, well-organized and professionally presented tutorial. Thank you, Erin! I had not used the 'Track Changes' or 'Comments' features since Word 2013, and this non-nonsense and succinct refresher brought me back up to speed quickly and easily. It's exactly what I was looking for, and I will be watching your additional Word tutorials going forward. Great work! 👍
Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice comment. I really appreciate it!
agree! subscribed to this channel and go chcek what else I need to learn!!!!
I found just what I needed. Thanks for a clear, straight-to-the point video! Very helpful
I'm so happy to hear that. Thank you for watching!
Erin, this is an outstanding instructional video. I work as an editor and often have clients unfamiliar with track changes. Now I know where I will send them for a clear and encouraging tutorial. As soon as I heard you speak, I knew I was in the right (wright!) place. Thank you for this gem.
I really appreciate such a kind comment from a fellow editor! If any of your clients are using Microsoft 365, you may want to share my updated version of this tutorial that mentions Modern comments: ua-cam.com/video/1-gby_qDsHo/v-deo.html.
This video is just what I needed, and it's terrific! Thank you so much for providing clear instructions at a pace that was just right to enable learning the steps. The addition of the documentation on the website you shared was like the cherry on top of the whipped cream on the sundae. Great job!
I really appreciate your kind comment! And thank you for visiting my website!
Awesome! You rock Erin. First time author here working with a professional editor; now I feel comfortable using Track Changes.
I am so happy to hear that. I wish you all the best with your manuscript!
Well presented information. Erin is a great tutor! It was easy to understand the differences in edit choices and the recommendations for which selections/default choices under track changes is particularly helpful.
That is very kind of you to say. Thank you for watching!
Just browsing through the comments here, what I want to say has already been said repeatedly here, but shazam, Home Girl! You killed it. Like a dumb a**, I've been using Word all this time and never even knew about "Track Change". Today when discussing a request to help with proofreading someone's Ph.D. dissertation, the guy suggests that I use Track Changes, and I'm like "Track Changes, eh?" It's like telling someone, "Hey, you know if you open that umbrella, you can actually use it to keep the rain off you, too." Why he still feels that I might be up to the level of professionalism required to take on the project is beyond me, but fortunately this recent enlightenment should make the going a wee bit smoother. Anyway, allow me to express my thanks for this tutorial and echo what everyone else has already said. This was super clear and concise. I'm like Denzel Washington's character in the movie "Philadelphia" where as a lawyer he asks that everyone explain everything to him like he were a six-year-old, so this is just what I needed. You have a really nice voice, too. You could do commercials, and as a former teacher, I can say that you would be great for narrating children's stories. Blessings to you and yours and stay safe during this pandemic thing.
I really appreciate your kind words! Thank you for watching!
Your video was very clear and very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to post it. Best wishes from Ireland to you!
