• Marked up Word document provides review record• ASCE difference tool gives traceability of final ASCE• MS Word compare documents function gives tracking

against previous versions of the MS Word document• ASCE one-click provides traceability from marked up Word

document to ASCE controlled document for final editing– turned off in generation of final deliverable
