Posted By Tabs I have never had to review/update another company's document before, so I am wondering what the correct protocol is. Do I change the wording to suit the current reality, or strike the old wording then add the update, or simply add a comment afterwards saying what the review has found? Any aficionado's on this out there please? (It is too big to rewrite, and to cut and paste would be plagiarism).

Posted By CFT Tabs I don't feel you need to worry about PG. I am not certain of the logistics to your question but if it is a take over then you will own the rights to existing works. Can you say what doc Tabs? CFT

Posted By Ali I would imagine that even if the content was similar (eg arrangements), there would still be differences in key manager roles & responsibilities. Once these have been changed, the document itself would become different in which case you could add your Co.'s personal details & date it.Using the entire doc in it's current state would be plagiarism.

Posted By Robert K Lewis Tabs If the organisation has 9001 or 14001 certificqation then there will be a company standard procedure for revisions to text - stick with that. If there is not one I tend to underscore the redundant text and type in new text immediately afterwards. Once revisions are complete the underscore text can be removed. Alternatively use track changes in word - a very useful function once you get the hang of it. Bob
