Are the Engineers willing to learn how to use a word processor
properly? Or will they be messing up the layout with multiply
tabbed tables, and other kluges?
Word 6.0, Ami Pro, etc. can show revisions, color coded according to WHO did
them
but can't rank them by importance.
You would have to assign colors to the different reviewers.
The problem with this - the file becomes VERY cluttered with the changes
color coding, etc. It is very hard to track more than three revisions.
Also, they might decide to "incorporate" or accept the revisions, which
wipes out everyone's suggestions.
Perhaps a better way would be to have the engineers insert the changes,
in the color of their choice - as visible text.
Print the changes on a color printer, and then put them into the
master document. Each engineer could use a seperate copy of the document.
