However, she has an emailed version, and hopefully (if it's worth working on) I can print up her copy with the changes/suggestions noted, and then work on revising on my saved version, using her printed version as a guide.<br /><br />At least I hope it works out like that.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-63295720291952879652014-02-25T19:10:47.589-08:002014-02-25T19:10:47.589-08:00I use Track Changes in Word, or Comments in a pdf....I use Track Changes in Word, or Comments in a pdf. <br /><br />But when I'm writing, I just edit as I go.

It's cool if you know how to use it - which I do not. You can insert comments, change punctuation and format and all manner of sophisticated maneuvers. But if you don't "hover" just right you may not see the brilliant repairs. And it seems that once there, the comments and revisions never go away!

Easy-peasy with a pressure washer and a water hose, but I didn't have a pressure washer and someone has swiped the water hose. Scrubbed 'em down with spray-on bleach cleaner and a rag, then rinsed with water poured from a bucket.
