Hi Crystal,
This is one of our major bugbears, and I'm afraid there is little or no
short way, short of comparing it with a printed hard copy, that you can
get round it at the moment.
In our case, we advise the client, is as nice a way possible, that they
must submit finalised a document. If they say they don't know how to do
this, I can suggest a variety of phrases we use to suggest that having
managed to put Revisions IN to the document, they should learn how to
complete the task. (Smile)
George.

Subject: [duxuser] Tracked Word Documents
Hello, Duxusers! Last week I received a Word document to be
brailled which I opened both in DBTW and in Word so I could print it for
reference in making formatting decisions. As I worked through the
document in DBTW, I discovered that there was text that had opened in
DBTW that had not appeared in the copy opened in Word ... and then later
on, I found a couple of pages that had opened in Word that did not
appear in DBTW. I called the client who had sent the document, and we
determined that the discrepancies were probably due to the fact that the
document had been reviewed/edited using the Word tracking feature.
Unfortunately, the client was not sufficiently familiar with the
tracking feature to be able to identify what specifically caused text to
open in one program and not the other.
I'm wondering if any of you have experience working with tracked
documents, and whether you could suggest some (hopefully simple)
guidelines I could pass on to clients who submit tracked documents to be
brailled ... so as to avoid this kind of situation in the future.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Crystal Roy
