Preparing a document for review (optional)
When you send a document to someone else to review or edit, you may want to prepare it first so that the editor or reviewer does not have to remember to turn on the revision marks. After you have protected the document, any user must enter the correct password in order to turn off the function or accept or reject changes.
- Open the document and make sure that the Edit > Changes > Record menu item has a check mark next to it, indicating that change recording is active.
- (Optional) Click Edit > Changes > Protect Records. On the Protect Records dialog, type a password (twice) and click OK.
 | Passwords must contain at least five characters.
|
 | It is not necessary to password protect the document while preparing it for review.
