Apologies in advance for the painful obviousity factor (POF) of this (probably about 87 on the POF/Richter scale), but it was new to me even though I’ve used MS Word for aeons.

I’m working on a couple of docs that have got to about the zillionth revision stage now, and wanted to print off the latest draft just showing Mr X’s amendments. Simple enough (once the Boy Wonder had shown me ;-) ).

1. Load up the Reviewing Toolbar
2. Go to ‘Show’
3. Go to ‘Reviewers’
4. Pick the one(s) you want
5. er, that’s it

That instantly reduced a 73 page document in a confusing multitude of colours and underlinings to a 42 page doc in black with some green markings from that reviewer.

I can see a lot of use for this.
