Feature Request: support for Word's Track Changes feature

I love the iPad and Pages lets my wife and I use it to some extent for our jobs. However, the most useful feature for me in a document reader/creator would be the ability to track changes and have it be compatible with Word. I am a college professor, and I use this feature almost daily when grading student papers. If this were available on the iPad version of Pages, I could truly leave the laptop at home.

Why would it need to be compatible with Word? Why not use Pages' Track Changes feature and print the final version, with the comments and markup visible, to PDF? This is what I do. And it works just fine. I get a student once in a while who doesn't have Adobe Reader installed, but I have a FAQ item for that in the online course shell.

  • Set Word 2013 Track Changes settings via Registry edits or Group Policy?

    Hi
    Would anyone know if there is a way of changing Track Changes settings via registry edits or Group Policy (e.g. changing Simple Markup All Markup)? I've had a look in Group Policy Admin Templates and the Registry but cant see relevant
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The All Markup/Simple Markup selection is controlled by the RevModeShowSimpleMarkup value within the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options
    The value is 0 (zero) for All Markup or 1 (one) for Simple Markup.
    If we close all Word instances, and change the value to 1, then start Word, the All Markup option should be selected.
    In addition, some track change settings can also be controlled by the GPO settings in the following location:
    Administrative Templates > Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Track changes and compare
    If you still need further assistance on this issue, please feel free to let me know.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Downloaded Mountain Lion and lost support for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

    Downloaded Mountain Lion and lost support for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Anyone know how to get it back?

    Odds are you running Office 2004, which is coded in PowerPC code. PowerPC is no longer supported.
    You either must upgrade the newer version  of Office that will work or downgrade OS X.

  • Word for iPad - Does Track Changes Work?

    I use MS Office at work and need to edit lots of documents.  I am considering biting the bullet and getting an Office 365 Subscription so I can use the new Office for iPad apps. (I know that they are 3 separate apps, it's just easier to say it this way)
    I do need to know if the Track Changes function works in the iPad version even close to how it works on the Desktop version of Word.  Has anyone checked this out?  Have you tried to send a document with track changes turned on back and forth between a couple of people to see what happens when the doc is opened and closed by different people and sent via email.
    I just don't want to waste my money trying to get the one feature I really need.

    OK I shelled out the hundred bucks for the annual subscription to Office 365 (And then two days later found it for $79 at Office Depot, sheesh!).
    So far it seems to be worth the money if you need to edit or create documents on your iPad.  If you only need to read docs, spreadsheets or review PowerPoints, just get the free versions and stick with them.
    The nice thing about the annual subscription is that we can put Office on 5 computers AND 5 tablets.  And it is supposed to always be up to date.  So I now have access to Office 2013 pretty much everywhere I go.  And with the free (somewhat crippled I will admit) versions of the Office apps on OneDrive on the web, I am in business as long as I can connect to the internet. 
    I have tried all the apps on my iPad and find them to be very well executed and easy to use.  Track changes works just like on my desktop PC so that made it worth it for my wife who uses it all the time when reviewing dissertations for her students.  And it works for me when I am editing files with my coworkers.
    If you don't mind having to pay the annual subscription fee and you need to edit docs on the run and you don't want to have to drag a full sized laptop around with your, I would recommend getting the apps and paying the fee to activate Office 365.
    The only con I have run across so far is that the Save As option to save a document to your iPad so you can work on it between internet connections is less than intuitive. You have to make a copy, not surprising, but the option to do this is called Duplicate rather than a simple and easy to understand, Save As.

  • Feature request: Support for {table abbr} and {table} in Table scripts

    Hi Data Modeler Team,
    support for {table abbr} and {table} in table scripts ("Table properties"->"Scripts"->All four tabs) would be greatly appreciated as it makes it easier to use boilerplate SQL in these areas.
    Is it possible to add this feature to one of the upcoming releases?
    Thank you,

  • Feature Request: Support for .idea and .psdx extensions

    I've noticed that Adobe Bridge does not have any support for .idea and .psdx files.  The .idea files will show a idea file icon but the .psdx will be a blank, unknown file icon.  Both do not show any preview in Bridge.  I do not know why this is as previews for these files can be seen when they are uploaded to creative cloud or the new creative cloud mobile app.

  • Feature Request -Support For All Library Assets Formats

    I would like to request an update to the application to allow full support for all Library asset formats.
    I have recently started using Comp CC to draft layouts. I have found that none of my graphics Library assets can be used due to their format type. This has limited the usefulness of Comp CC as many of my assets are Illustrator vector graphic.

    Thanks for opening our eyes. I spent a good hour trying to place vector graphics into an image place holder before I posted.
    In my defense I find this method less than intuitive. I don't understand Adobe's thinking on separate methods of placing vector graphics & raster graphics. I personally treat all graphics the same vector or raster the are both graphics. This has been the standard workflow for placing image into DTP apps since the beginning.

  • Feature request: Support for Multiple Libraries (like in iMovie)

    From the threads, I can tell this topic was raised by many for many years. I would like to propose support for multiple iPhoto libraries -- or more specifically, the ability to distribute media across different storage devices.
    There is a huge gap between my spacially limited MBP 250 GB SSD and my external 4 TB HDD. I am aware that I can juggle two separate libraries in iPhoto but it's just not practical and the moving of media between the libraries is not a simple drag and drop effort but involves exporting and importing with me having to clean up on one side or the other.
    iMovie has had support for several libraries for a long time presumably because the sheer size of media in the video realm gave the iMovie team little choice.
    I can't be the only one having this itch, right?

    Again, you need to clarify your terms
    Aperture can move master photos files around. With Aperture you can write additional metadata to the original file.
    You don't need multiple libraries to thematically arrange photos, though. A simple keywordign system will do that.
    So in Aperture I don't have to restart into different libraries?
    You can have all your photos in a sinble library with the master files stored off-disk easily. You can relocate them from disk to disk too. However, if you;re doing presentations that is probably not necessary if you generate good quality previews. I'd ask about these things on the Aperture forum for more.

  • Word doc track changes in RH

    i need help working out why all my track changes in a word
    doc that i have uploaded to RH, show up!!!!
    its a real mess. the changes have been accepted so the word
    doc is clean but then they all show up in RH.
    any ideas?

    I don't want to revise the document after track changes. My point is; when I finished my track changes and sent the document off for the other person to see the changes I have made, they can't see any markings, just the revised text (that had been changed
    via track changes) It automatically changes without anyone excepting any changes I have made.

  • Copy text from word without track changes

    Version: Word 14.0.6129.5000 32 bit
    OS: Win 7
    Hi -
    We receive tons of word-documents to our newspaper, and many of these are copied and pasted into incopy. Some of the editors also use track changes in word heavily.
    The ordinary ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl-v copies track-changes-info. (This also apply if we copy to notepad etc.)
    Is there an easy way to copy just the text without all the track chages-info, just the final text?
    This is a big problem for us, and I haven't found a quick and easy solution on the web.

    (Sorry for bad english)

    Hi Hans,
    I just retested this Copy/Paste of Tracked Changes and Comments under Word 2011 for the Mac and Word 2010 for the PC. The results vary.
    Regarding the PC with 2010 version.
    Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the Source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
    Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over into the destination Word document.
    In all cases, source document tracked changes ALWAYS transfer to Note documents.
    Paste Unformatted DOES NOT eliminate the tracked changes and comments when pasting to a Word destination document
    Regarding Word 2011 on the Mac
    Regardless of the Show Tracking settings in the source document, the tracked changes DO NOT transfer from the source Word document to the destination Word document.
    Regardless of the Show Tracking setting in the Source document, comments ALWAYS carry over to the destination Word document.
    In all cases, source document tracked changes DO NOT transfer to Text (txt) documents.
    Paste Unformatted ALWAYS eliminates the tracked changes and comments when pasted into the destination Word document.
    On both versions the default settings for Smart Copy/Paste and Cut, Copy, Paste we in effect. All test files where xml formats. (docx)

  • Word Documents Tracked Changes

    Hi guys,
    i just got my ipad. Is there any way to see tracked changes in word documents?
    Its seems like documents to go can do this? Just wondering if any one is able to validate this.

    Update. From the MacWorld Pages review:
    "One extremely important note here: if you receive Word or Pages documents that contain tracked changes or comments, you’ll need to avoid Pages for iPad. Imported documents lose all comments and Pages for iPad automatically accepts any tracked changes. For me, this is a problem I can’t work around."
    So as of this date, no. Maybe in a future release.

  • Bfd support for vrrp interface tracking query !

    Hi All
    I have a requirement in my typical LAN scenario whereby my LAN server connects in a dual homed fashion to two different LAN switches from a third party vendor. We are using vrrp for the server LAN. The two 3rd party vendor switches are uplinked via L3 links to two c6500. We are tracking the uplink interfaces under vrrp such that no traffic blackholing occurs if the uplink connectivity from master is broken. Now customer has asked to use bfd support in the vrrp uplink interface tracking which is supported by the vendor switches. This topic is confusing to me as what configuration would be required on c6500 to achieve this as the requirement is not to configure bfd for routing protocol but for vrrp interface tracking. As per my understanding BFD works only in integration with routing protocols and there would be no session formed by just enabling BFD under Interface Config. If anyone has any prior experience with implementing such setup please guide me on what needs to be done from c6500 side to achieve this. We are using static routes on c6500 for server LAN reachability and default route on vendor switches towards junos but no bfd for static routing.
    Regards Varma

    Hi Varma,
    your understanding is correct, initially we were supporting BFD in conjunction with BGP/IGPs. Nowadays there's BFD support for VRRP in IOS XR and BFD support for HSRP in IOS. Since you're in multivendor environment, I don't think these options are feasible. You may instead apply subsecond hello timers in VRRP, provided you don't have lots of instances, you should not face a performance burden.
    HTH,
    Ivan.

  • Where to request support for unsupported (so far) VM argument (pmoffscreen)

    hi,
    i'm serving an app via web start, which has been great so far, but the app is very slow when viewed by a remote x-server. i found the VM argument pmoffscreen to be very useful for speeding up such response, but unfortunately i find that this VM argument is not supported for VMs started via web start. does anyone know why (buffer overflow issues or somesuch?), and where can i go to register desire for the support of this argument in web start VMs (if not here...)
    thanks!

    Hi Svet,
    i have bought a Samsung 830 SSD for my gx660r notebook, but i realized that it is not recognized in the BIOS in AHCI mode.
    The MSIHQ Flashing Tool says the following about my BIOS:
    Mainboard:  MS-16F1
    PCB Version:  To be filled by O.E.M.
    BIOS Version: E16F1IMS VER3.0J
    BIOS Date:  28.03.2011
    EC-FW Version:
    Could you provide me with a BIOS that works with my Samsung SSD?
    I already donated some bucks.
    Yep, check PM
    Quote
    And can you give me a hint how i can rescue my system in case the update fails?
    As far as i know, my notebook does not have m-flash (at least i've seen no reference to m-flash), is there another way to restore the backup bios in case something goes wrong?
    Nope, in a case of bad flash there is no recovery.
    Else if everything goes fine, you can restore original BIOS if you want to do this for some reason.
    Quote
    BTW: Im using the latest version of the flashing tool, but it does not offer the mode 2 (where i can point to a single bios file).
    To prevent using the wrong flasher[which can kill the notebook],
    Tool automatically Disable Mode2 when notebook is detected.
    Quote
    Can you provide the modded bios as a zip/rar file so i can use it with mode1?
    Yes, ofc. Check PM

  • Feature request: Support for more than 2 monitors

    I currently use an external monitor for my critical editing/evaluation as my iMac display doesn't reproduce reds very well. I understand newer iMacs can support 2 external displays, obviously desktop machines can support as many displays as there are open slots for video cards.
    While editing a photo shot in portrait on a monitor set for landscape is not a problem, it would <really> be cool to have two external color-accurate monitors for developing/loupe views, one oriented in portrait, one in landscape, with the third (iMac in this case) showing the develop controls. Even if the two external monitors showed the same image, one would always be fullscreen in the correct orientation.
    MacOS and Windows both give the user control over all the displays connected to a given system, so driving a portrait and a landscape monitor simultaneously shouldn't be a problem from an OS/hardware standpoint.
    Is this something that can be rolled into LR4?
    Respectfully,
    Andre

    I use 3 or 4 monitors too, so that's one I'd like to see too.  We wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, so might I suggest adding the request to the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked?  If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request. 

  • Feature Request: Support for External Synths/Modules (via MIDI)

    Hi,
    I just posted a feature request (via the Apple Feature Request form) but also wanted to post here. I use a combination of hardware instruments (sound modules) and software instruments.
    *My Setup*
    - Keyboard #1: M-Audio Axiom 25 (also includes a USB MIDI interface)
    - Keyboard #2: Roland A-33 Controller Keyboard (via my Axiom-25's MIDI In)
    - Edirol USB MIDI Interface (sound modules plugged into MIDI Outs)
    - Sound Module #1: Roland JV-1080
    - Sound Module #2: Yamaha TX802
    MainStage currently takes care of all my software instrument needs, however, what is missing is the ability to add external physical MIDI devices as either patches or as channel strips. I would like to use a combination of software and hardware instruments in the same song, and control this via Mainstage.
    Example:
    - Patch 1 could potentially contain 2 software instruments, each seperately controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently possible)
    - Patch 2 could contain 1 software instrument and 1 external sound module each controlled by a physical keyboard (this is currently impossible)
    - Patch 3 could contain 2 external sound modules, mapped to different ports and/or channels, and therefore independantly controlled by my 2 keyboads (this is also currently impossible)
    Would I be correct in assuming that this is a fairly common limitation of MainStage?
    Message was edited by: olafwagner

    I have achieved MIDI out from Mainstage, thank to the information found on this forum..
    what I actually do is send Prg Change from every preset I select to control a hardware vocal harmony pedal. this way i don't have to remember which setting i use on every song or even, section of a song.
    *Step 1:*
    Library>application support>Logic> create a folder named precisely MAINSTAGE CALLBACKS
    inside of it, create an applescript with this code
    on action(parameter)
    set myprogramchange to programchangenumber of parameter
    tell application "MidiPipe"
    MIDISend toPort "MidiPipe AppleScript Input" withData {192, myprogramchange}
    end tell
    end action
    *step 2*
    download MIDIPIPE from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/
    and install it in your apps folder
    *step 3*
    start midipipe, and define the following modules
    MIDI IN-> use applescript input from menu
    MIDI OUT-> route to your midi interface desired output
    save this to a Midipipe file you can easily access
    Now, when I go to a gig I FIRST (this is important) load midipipe and my preset, and just hide it and let it work in the background
    Start mainstage, and set the program change of every PATCH to what I want to be sent over MIDI OUT when I enter the preset (-1 if needed or modify the previous applescript).
    Ok, this just gives you Prg change... if you want something like CC or others, you can look at some of the example files on midipipe, and write your own applescripts to be used from a control within mainstage (you know, select a screen control, and assign it to an applescript located in library>application suport>logic>Mainstage scripts. you have to tell the applescript to receive incoming data from mainstage and send it (with even some filtering or transforming) to midipipe to go to the outside world.
    One last idea: i used a free plug-in called MIDIIO that, although the plugin analysis on mainstage might say does not pass, you can use it anyway, and lets you insert it as if it was a plugin instrument...then you just route your screen controller to a MIDI parameter on that track, and there you go...but in the past it was not as solid as the midipipe solution.
    I am still investigating...I am pursuing having my hardware controller knobs to follow screen settings everytime I just change a patch, but lack some info on how to get parameter values when entering the patch ¿anyone knows, blueberry, zuelito...? I promise to share the results!
    best
