Comments and Track Changes Support

I wonder does anyone know if the new version of iWork released as part of the new iPad yesterday means track changes now work?

Thanks

Update to iWork for IOS, does NOT add track changes feature

As much as I like iWork and the iPad, I also need the ability to track changes. There are two options until Office for iPad comes out:

1. you can open the MS Word doc in Google Docs and you can see the comments from the users. (only works if you have a gmail acocunt).

2. Use Onlive Desktop for the iPad. Upload the Word file from you PC or Mac, wait a few seconds and it will show up on the Documents folder on the Onlive Desktop. Open up MS Office and you can see the doc with the tracked changes.

gegori:

OR

#1 Ask people to send redlines in pdf

#2 Use remote control like logmein, to work in full Word on your desktop controlled by iPad

#3 Use remote control to convert the redlined Word file to pdf and email it to yourself

My company has developed an app allowing track changes in MS Word docs. Anyone interested in Beta testing please contact me at dsediting@gmail.com.

Has anybody tried Office2HD by Byte2 or Doc2HD by Byte2? Claims to support track changes for .doc and .docx, just wondering if it really works.

I bought Office2HD and track changes has worked so far well. See, edit, make new, accept, reject.

AND the Word Processor itself is very nice. It has a Pages look and feel.

With Surface, it seems unlikely now that MS releases Office for iPad.

In meantime I just bought Office2HD and so far it has handled track changes well.

New to iPad, Pages and Keynote. I am a business professor and receive documents and PPT slides from students, colleagues, and clintes on which I need to comment and send back? Without tracking changes, Pages and Keynote lose half of their value for me. There is a tremendous need for this feature. Also, it would be nice to be able to highlight or underline text. Hopefully, someone Comes up with a fix.

Ladies and Gentlemen – we have it finally… Track Changes is supported in the new version of Pages for iOS!!!

From the release:

o Use Change Tracking to track changes to body text in a document

o Accept and reject individual changes as you review a document

o Import Pages and Microsoft Word documents with change tracking and continue to track changes to body text

o Preserve tracked changes in documents exported in Microsoft Word or Pages format

SAW that. I tried on 70+ page document and seemed to work well. Office2HD tended to crash on long documents with tracked changes.

Just downloaded new version of pages and tried it. It does NOT support comments, alas. So still less useful, at least to me, than Office2HD.

Also, I've noticed that if you select some text and type in some new text to replace it, when you reject the change, the original text is restored, but the newly inserted text stays there... It isn't deleted. Unless I'm doing something wrong, that's just plain bad.

@TimDanaher - I'm not sure what you are doing that this doesn't work for you. I just tried this and it worked just fine. I selected a long paragraph, added new text. Selected the new text and tapped reject. The new text disappeared, the old text reappeared and I was back to where I started.

@ judithfromva The work around for comments would be to add them as a paragraph below where you need to comment, select them them and change the font color. When you are done with comments you could then select it and reject it and it would be gone from the document. I realize is it kind of kludgy but if you just need to share comments with your collaborator this might work. If you need embeded comments that you could hide it would not meet your needs.
