“Track changes[1] is the thief of joy.”

— Theodore Logan Roosevelt

Legal eagles may be awful at formatting Microsoft Word documents, and they may totally misunderstand SharePoint and email filing, but they usually are quite good at using track changes. Indeed, legal eagles love track changes. They pine for track changes whenever using applications, like PowerPoint, that don’t offer them.

There are even applications you can get to do track changes on documents that don’t offer them — hence, you might hear track changes called “deltaview”, “comparite”, “change-pro”.

They wish you could track changes on emails and text messages, and will take some pains to replicate track changes by formatting in red strikethrough and blue underlining.
