Show and Stet Revisions

You probably already know that Word will keep track of your revisions with colored strikeouts (for deletions) and underlining (for insertions)—the perfect feature for professional editing because it lets you see the changes you’ve made, just as if you were editing on paper. Unfortunately, Word has no easy, natural way to let you see and review all of your revisions at once or to easily and selectively undo them. Editor’s ToolKit fixes this problem, letting you see revisions at the touch of a key (F4). Then you can put your cursor on a revision, press the Stet key (F3), and watch the revision go back to the way it was. You can also select whole sections and stet them. Another keystroke (F4), and your revisions are hidden again. Of course, you can work with revisions hidden (my preference) or with revisions showing. For your convenience, showing revisions also lets you view invisible characters, such as spaces and carriage returns.
