Modifying a Document in Microsoft Word

Downloading and opening the document in MS Word allows the user to make edits and additions that can easily be tracked. This makes reviewing more efficient so contract documents can be approved in a timely manner.

Reviewing a Document in Microsoft Word

Reviewers are able to download the edited document in MS Word and utilize the Review tab which lets reviewers quickly see all changes made to the document. Within the Review tab in MS Word, the reviewer is able to accept, reject, or modify those changes.

Modifying a Document in Outline View (Clause Library)

Within NC eProcurement Contracts, contract documents can also be modified through the Outline View. Outline View automatically divides the contract into individual clauses and displays whether that clause has been modified or exists in its original form. Outline View also enables users to add individual clauses from a Clause Library of pre-written clauses.
