Word should include a function for marking essays

V

As a university lecturer, I feel that word should include a function similar
to the reviewing function to enable students to submit essays by e-mail
attachment as a word document. This would make the marking process easier and
quicker, and enable students to get a better standard of feedback.
The function should include capacities to: add comments both in the margins
and at the end of the document; show/hide/remove comments added by individual
markers; show/hide/remove changes made to the document eg changes to
punctuation or spelling; add a provisional/final mark in a way similar to the
way footnotes/endnotes are added. There are far more things such a function
could do, but at root it would be very similar to the reviewing function
already available in word, and therefore it wouldn't be too difficult to
create such a function.

G'day VoodooBarbie <[email protected]>,

What is wrong with the existing review capacity then? Why not just use
it?
