Non-PRO German to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software Track changes
This is a word which appears as a comment in 'Track Changes' using Microsoft Word. I've been able to decode what a lot of the other comments mean e.g. "formattiert" is, straightforwardly, "formatted". But messing around with Track Changes in English hasn't enabled me to decode this one - it describes using track changes to change the text type, e.g. to Heading 2 etc., I think.

Jun 27, 2017 21:13: Steffen Walter changed "Field" from "Other" to "Tech/Engineering"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Steffen Walter

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Note from asker:
Think this is it! I googled and a number of links come up referring to this as a comment in Track Changes e.g. http://www.wordbanter.com/showthread.php?t=136004, http://www.pagefield.info/_quot_Style_definition_quot_balloon.html

style sheet (definition)

This is where you define which spelling (U.S or British?),
which idiosyncrasies in the text should be left alone (not corrected), etc.
Note from asker:
Thanks Ramey. The problem is I cannot find any reference to "style sheet definition" in the Track Changes function in English, but I guess it's possible it exists in the German version of Microsoft Word (track changes) but not in the English version.
