Do you co-edit documents with others?

More and more, we're creating and editing legal documents with other people. Setting aside the obvious people problems (differing opinions, etc.), there's the problem of dealing with the technology:

How do the various editors indicate their changes and comments?
How do we keep track of the document's history?
How do we make sure that the final document doesn't contain any metadata that could be transmitted to an adverse party?

Document Collaboration with Microsoft Word is a course on using Microsoft Word in document collaboration. It's centered around the Review tab, which contains the Track Changes feature plus other collaborative editing tools you might not be aware of.

The course contains the following lessons:

Automatically marking document edits with Track Changes
Inserting comments with Track Changes
Showing, hiding and printing tracked changes
Reviewing, accepting and rejecting others' edits
Configuring Track Changes Options
Restricting others' edits in collaboratively-edited documents (both text and Styles)
