Nisus has disappeared. I need a WP package to track changes from my editor's Word documents. What is the best WP package to maintain tracked changes? Editors sent me their Docx files, I need to be able to see their comments and changes, then add my own changes that they can also see. Help!

If the editor are sending you edit changes from Word, and expects same in return, then at minimum, I would use the best free and current online Word from Microsoft so that there is a 1:1 exchange of markup visuals and zero confusion with your editor.
LibreOffice Writer can be somewhat minimal on showing the changes from an MS Word document previously edited in Word.
Can't say I've tried it but LibreOffice is free, can open MS docs/spreadsheets and handles comments. Given it's free it would be my first choice and you've got nothing to lose. I don't really use the WP functions but the transition from Excel was painless so I assume the WP will be the same.
Many thanks. I'll have a good look at it. My issue is the Word format - it just makes no sense to me!
I used to be a heavy Word user in my last job. I didn't like the Word commenting/reviewing format so I wrote a Macro to dump everything into an Excel table to make it easier to review. Good luck.
