The Basics of Track Changes in Word

Do you get bogged down on how to format your document? Do you eyeball the changes from your current draft to your previous versions? Do you wish to know of an efficient system in which to sort your writing drafts?

Join Sheena Arora, the self-proclaimed organizing savant, and learn the basics of formatting and track changes in Word. By the end of Sheena's presentation, you will better understand Word and know how to organize your files.

An architect by profession, Sheena Arora was comfortable sketching. The thought of writing was equivalent to scaling Mount Everest barefoot in the coldest December. During the course of her writing journey, Sheena has been published, awarded, and even snagged a Pushcart Prize nomination.

Through her writing, Sheena travels to the locales, flavors the cuisine, and participates in the cultural aspects of India with which she is unfamiliar.

She has a Bachelor's of Architecture (India), a Master's in Landscape Architecture (Texas A & M University), a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Writing (UC Berkeley Extension), and a Novel Writing Certificate (Stanford Continuing Studies)..

Palo Alto Public Library Events

Hosted by Cynthia McCarthy, Writers Helping Writers is offered jointly by CWC's San Francisco Peninsula branch and the Palo Alto Public Library.

Please join us the third Thursday of the month (except June, July, August, and December) at 6:30 pm. Meetings are in-person only.

To hear about other writing programs, subscribe to the library newsletter here. You can also fill out a survey about when you might want a weekly writing group.

Each month, CWC SF Peninsula branch members share learned techniques and experiences in our craft. From scoping out your memoir to finding inspiration for a poem to plotting your novel to learning the ins and outs of blogging—we teach what we’ve learned. This is an opportunity for all writers to meet and share their experiences.

Our purpose? To pass on what we’ve discovered to help other writers.

Anyone can attend, free of charge.
