Dear Robert, o.k. I understand we consider text in very different stages. I am using Track Changes inside the task group to indicate for the group what has changed from one version
of the draft to the next (e.g. from D0.3 to D0.4). I understand that changes which a finished ammendment will cause to the baseline should be highlighted differently. Best regards - Volker
Von: Stacey, Robert [mailto:robert.stacey@xxxxxxxxx] Hello Volker, I am interested in opinions on what the published amendment; how we identify changes against the baseline. How we develop and ballot our drafts is a separate issue. Regarding Track Changes: As technical editors, we should not be using this to track changes against the baseline. We should manually identify changes to the baseline: using underline and strikethrough font (with or without
color). Track Changes in Word has its uses: I find it useful to show editing instructions in a proposed change to the draft. It makes it easy to develop changes and make sure you capture all the changes. Or to make edits on the fly during discussion. But
once that gets incorporated in the draft itself it should be shown with manual font changes. -Robert From: Jungnickel, Volker <volker.jungnickel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Dear Robert, I have seen in multi-author projects in MS Word using the “tack changes” functionality that the changes appear in different colors. It seems to depend on the person who opens the document, i.e .the underlined changes
will not appear exactly in the colors you suggested. If we agree to fix these colors, this implies a burden to the Technical Editor to change the colors into the desired ones. Best regards – Volker Von: *** IEEE stds-802-11-editors List *** [mailto:STDS-802-11-EDITORS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Edward, This would be done by the publication editors.
We could discuss separately whether we do the same thing during draft development. -Robert From: Edward Au <edward.ks.au@xxxxxxxxx>
Hi Robert, While the intention is good especially for the readers to read, it may create a lot of overhead to Editors who are preparing the draft as they need to keep changing colors
when they insert, delete, or change texts. Regards, On Mon, Mar 29, 2021 at 10:16 AM Stacey, Robert <robert.stacey@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
