How to combine MS Word Revisions with the original Zoho Writer document

Overview

Writer lets you combine a revised DOCX file with your original document using the Combine Revisions feature, even if your collaborator doesn’t use Zoho Writer. You can use it to bring all their edits and comments into one version, where every change is marked up so you can accept or reject it as needed.

Prerequisites

  1. Original Document: A Zoho Writer document with Track Changes enabled.
  2. Modified MS Word File: A collaborator has edited the exported .docx copy of the above document and returned it to you

Steps

  1. Click Review > Combine Revisions.
  2. Choose your MS Word document (.docx or .doc file) from your computer.
  3. Once imported, choose either of the combine options to proceed:
    1. Combine and create a new document: To generate a new document by merging the selected document with your existing Writer document.
    2. Combine changes to the current document: To blend changes from the selected document with your existing Writer document.

Note that in both cases, insertions and deletions will appear as markup so that you can accept or reject changes individually.

You can also tell Writer the name of the collaborator who worked on the revision. This information will be used to tag the changes and to create a unique file name for the combined document generated.
