Review, comments and tracked changes
Review edits deliberately and leave clear feedback on a document.
Applies to Word 0.15.2 on doc.et.
What you can do#
Track Changes records supported edits so another review pass can inspect them. Use the review display options and reviewing pane to see recorded changes, then accept or reject individual changes or the complete set. Comments add feedback without replacing the underlying text.
Tracked changes include text edits and supported formatting revisions. Imported revisions can carry information that the editor preserves without recreating every equivalent change itself. For collaborative work, exchange saved copies and agree on which copy is current; this browser editor does not provide simultaneous co-authoring.
Try it#
Proofing is language-dependent and does not cover every language that can be typed or displayed. Text without a suitable dictionary may remain unmarked. A clean proofing panel is therefore not evidence that all text is correct. Manually review names, terminology and unsupported languages before publishing.
- Save a working copy before starting review.
- Turn on Review → Track Changes before editing.
- Select relevant text and insert a comment.
- Navigate the changes, accept or reject them, and save the reviewed copy.
Amharic spell checking (beta)#
Word checks Amharic spelling on your device using a bundled vocabulary of 150,123 entries. Possible mistakes receive spelling marks; press F7 or use Review → Spelling & Grammar to move to an issue, and right-click the word for suggestions. Suggestions never replace text automatically.
Amharic is checked in new Amharic documents and recognized within English/default text. For imported text with another language tag, select it and choose Review → Language → አማርኛ. Use Add to Dictionary for names and accepted terms, or Ignore All for the current session. Personal dictionary words are stored in this browser; clearing site data removes them.
This beta uses vocabulary from a filtered corpus and dictionary word lists and may flag correct names or inflected words, or miss errors already present in the source vocabulary. It is a spelling aid, not an Amharic grammar checker. Document text and spelling queries are not sent to a server. Other editors do not yet include this Amharic checker.
