e-editing
If you're interested in electronically editing your peers' papers and you have Microsoft Word (or you go to any computer lab on campus), here are the directions for using the "track changes" feature:
1. Go to the Tools menu.
2. Choose Track Changes. For Word XP, you can stop here and just start editing. Changes will show up in marginal notes.
3. For Word 2000, choose "Highlight changes while editing." Your changes will show up as strike-throughs and new text in a different color, actually within the text itself.
4. You must turn off the feature to make it stop--follow the same directions as above.
5. Send an electronic copy to your peer so that s/he can benefit from your work, but print out a copy for Friday.
