Supervisor Corrections Got You Stressed? This MS Word Tutorial Changes Everything

So if you want to learn how to use the review function in Microsoft Word, let's assume you are a student or you are a lecturer supervising students project. This is how to use review function. You do not need to write correction on a printed paper. This will save you time of carrying um papers all around or binding projects from one place to another. Even for students, this will also save you money. You do not need to print your project since you have not finished. Okay. So, you can use the review function in Microsoft Word. How do you do that? Once you open Microsoft Word, the very first thing you will need to do is to click on the review. You can find it from the menu. Now as a lecturer or as a supervisor supervising a student's project when you come here the next thing you are going to do is to click on this track changes you can click it from here from the top here or you come down here and select the same thing track changes. Okay. Now you will also want to make sure that this all markup is selected. So don't leave it in simple markup or no markup or original. Just use all markups. Once you have done these setups, you are good to go. Okay. Make sure that this thing is active. Okay. Now let's assume that these documents you are supervised sent to you that is a student researcher or whoever that wants you to review his uh work. What you need to do is to make some correction because you are doing this thing digitally. You will now have to make this correction digitally. Let's assume this place where we have contemporary. you as a supervisor you don't want to use contemporary you can just highlight and delete it out okay then when you delete it it will just strike it that is what these track changes will do then you will now type your own word the word you choose to use after typing it will underline it and everything will still be in red okay let's assume you have another word that you don't like, you can do the same thing. Let's say this literacy, I don't want to use it as a supervisor. I will just delete it. It will just strike it through. Okay. [snorts] And if you have anything to add, you just go on to type it. Let's me just say this is um useful. Then put my foot stop. This is how new word will appear. Okay. So, this is just one thing you do with this track changes. It's not difficult. But hold on because I have some other thing I want to show you and that thing is comments. You can also use this uh use comment in this review function. Let's assume you have something to comment on this place where we have uh content creation. You don't want to use content creation or you don't understand it as the supervisor. You just highlight it. Then click on new comments and ask your question. Say I don't understand the use of this here. So when your supervis sees your comments, he is going to make more um explanation or find a way of making it clearer. I hope you understand. You can as well uh uh remove entire sentence or whatever. Let's assume this thing I don't want it. I can just highlight all of them. then click on new comments and say remove this sentence. So this is how to use comments. But that is not all. There are a whole lot of things you are still going to learn in this video. I am going to show you next what the supervis will see because I just acted as the supervisor, the lecturer. Okay. So for students what would they say? How are they going to accept some of this correction? So we are going to save this document right now. So after saving you will send it to the students. Maybe we are using email to send or WhatsApp. You can use any uh means that you choose to. So let's save it. First I'll go to file save as then choose my location. I already have uh another similar file. This is from the first supervisor that reviewed this document. That's why I say you should watch till the end because I'm going to show you something with this particular first one. So here I will use today's date. You can see from here that today's date is 25th. So I am going to change this 13 to 25th. So if you are a student, learn how to use this naming convention because it's going to save you a lot. If you're not using dates, when you have different files from different reviews, different write up, you're going to get confused if you're not using dates to know the recent one you should be working on. So I'm also going to change it to supervisor two. You can use the name of the lecturer direct. Okay? so that it will be clearer. Okay. So I will now save it. Once I save it, I will send it to the student. So when the student gets it, the student is going to open it. Let's also open this um particular one, the supervisor to this version. This is exactly what the student is going to see from his own end. Now what would the student do? The student will look at this thing once he sees strike um word he will understand that the lecturer or the supervisor deleted this and added this one. So if you like what she I mean the lecturer did whether he or she you only need to right click on it and say accept deletion. Okay that is it. You can also right click on this one and say accept insertion. Do you see it? You have just um accepted that correction over there. Then if you want to accept all of them at the same time, you can go back to that review function. From here you will see accept all changes. You can click on this and it will accept all the changes. Okay. The same thing you will now read on the comments. You apply whether uh if the lecturer asks you to delete to add to make more explanation whatever the lecturer or the supervisor asks you to do you'll find it here then you resolve it and again at the end you will then delete all the comments. Okay. Once you delete it you will still have your clean documents. I hope you understand. Now there is one more thing that I would like to show you under this review and it is called compare. You can see it's compare here. Let's assume you have this document. You maybe you have two different um supervisors and they have done their corrections and sent uh back to you. Now how do you accept this correction from multiple sources? All you will need to do is to click on this compare. Then don't use this one compare. I like using combine. Okay. So I'll click on combine because we are uh combining multiple sources. I will select the first one which is this the one in 2026 uh from the first lecturer. So you know this particular place will show you recently opened documents. I think I renamed something. So I can also use this place to get to it. Uh so this is the document. I can also call it um user one or the name of the lecturer or supervisor one anything you want. Then for here I'll get the the other one from supervisor two. I can also give it a name. then click on okay. So what will happen here is that this function combine function will have to combine the corrections made by these lecturers. So if you point on anyone it will show you it is from user two. Okay. And if you point to another one it will show you it's just from the first user. You know I did all of this in one computer. That's why is using user two and first user but even as that it has used different color to differentiate them. Okay. So you can just um go on to accept the changes.
