Subject: Document retention, etc.

Have you heard of something called "Track changes"? It's a WORD feature that
is used -- a lot -- for redlining drafts. I see it used all the time on
documents that I receive from 3rd parties and I use it myself. It has become
popular because other tools, like CompareWrite and similar software, are not
compatible w/ more recent versions of WordPerfect and WORD, so changes are
often missed in marked drafts.
I learned during a recent visit at my old law firm that that they've
forbidden use of "Track Changes" and are advising their clients to do the
same b/c the past changes never go away and can be retrieved forever by
someone who knows anything about word processing technology. Which makes for
interesting results in document discovery..... among other things. Just
thought I'd pass this along.

Regards,
Janice
