Hi
Have you checked Red Booth?

I have experienced the same problem on a smaller scale. My personal preference is to avoid electronic markup. If I could have my way, I would publish a draft version and allow people to comment using things like red pens and highlighters and so forth. There is a lot of resistance to such an approach. Everyone wants to be high-tech, and turn on "version tracking." And maybe that could work if everyone were running the same version of software and if every site was virus free.

To me, a major problem deals with deletions. If I send text to one person, and they don't think a particular point is important, they might simply delete it. This does not give other people a chance to evaluating the text as written.

And some people are not content to simply comment or strike out, but start rearranging paragraphs and changing order. This makes a real mess. I worked on a proposal, which was updated and edited in three countries, and 75% of my time was spent cleaning up electronic confusion.

if those reviewing your document (or some of those reviewing your document) absolutely insists on electronic markup, I would try to send each of them a unique document and deal with each person's comments and changes one at a time.

Good luck.
