General ⇒ Construction of Macros for Tracking Changes

[leo simon]

I'm working with a colleague who wants to effectively track changes on my document. I have set up macros that do things like striking out and adding text, along the lines of

Code: Select all

\def\overstrike#1{\Red{\sf {\st{#1}}}}

but she doesn't want to type in every time she removes a comma, etc., \overstrike{,} and I'm sure she'll forget to close the braces some times.

Is there a way in ProTeXt to set up a macro, say button F1, that would do everything, so that all she would have to do is, say, highlight the thing she wants to strike out, hit F1, and all would be done for her? The model for this would be the way the "Code" button works in this forum, except it would be a function key?

Thanks very much for any advice!

Compile your document as usual and let her use a common PDF reader to make annotations directly in the PDF file. She can send the annotated file back to you and you can fix the issues.
