View Full Version : Solved: Word - "tracked changes" miscellany

These are probably as plain as day but I don't see the answers.

1. Can I isolate the tracked changes on the screen, or can I only just print them via {file/print/list of markup} ? If not innate, I'm open to VBA that simply "goes to the next revision," or even something more elaborate.

2. Is there a standard menu (keyboard!) access to "accept/reject" changes, or are they only on the reviewing toolbar?

3. (Yikes, this one sounds seriously dumb: ) Does "accept" permanently wipe out the evidence, or can you retrieve "pre-acceptance" revision data? (Geez, I hope not - because otherwise, documents would just swell out the wazoo.)

What version, dude?

1. What's the problem? If you're using 2003, maybe you need this?

2. Ditto

3. No. Maybe this will help:

1., 2. Yes, I am W2003 (sorry, and thank you for guessing), and yes, Dreamie hits another one out of the park. That link's exactly the ticket.

I find {File/Print/Document Showing Markup} to be a handy accompaniment when there's more than a few changes. I hoped to get that alone on the screen, but printing it and then walking the changes via next/previous works fine.

3. That's useful, but my question was sort of the opposite. That dealt with the issue of a .DOC that didn't [yet] get "Accepts," and I'm referring to after the Accepts have been done. AAR I stand by my belief that it's a stupid question so let's let it diiie!

Hmm - I'm sure you've seen http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010778051033.aspx ? (Ducking and running)

Thanks for the excellent help. :outahere
