 Hello, my name is Debbie Fierst and I'll be your instructor for this course. I've been in the technology industry for more than 20 years and through that time I've built thousands of documents in Microsoft Word. I've also taught many students and I look forward to teaching you. In this lesson, collaborating on documents, we'll learn how to modify user information, how to share a document, how to compare document changes, review a document, merge document changes, review track changes, and we'll also learn how to co-author documents. In this topic, we're going to modify user information. We'll look at the document panel. Associated with every document you create in Microsoft Word can be a variety of pieces of data that we call metadata. This is essentially ancillary or extra data that you provide about the document to help with searching and with documentation purposes. To show this document panel at the top of your Microsoft Word screen, you go under File, Info, and to the right you'll see an area called Properties. In that area you can select to show this document panel. The panel displays at the top of your document and allows you to enter in this metadata. You can create a title, a subject, some keywords, a category, who the author of the document is, and when you're done you can just hit the X to close the document panel.
