AFAIK that is the only way to do it in Word.

Thanks all.

But I'd like to ACCEPT changes and show the bars, not display tracking
options. I think I used to do it in WordPerfect. Can this be done in Word?

Yes, it's a per-machine (or per user) setting - you see changes marked
according to your current option settings; others will see them
according
to
theirs.

Does this then apply to all future uses of Track Changes? T

Under ToolsOptionsTrack Changes, set the Insertions, Deletions and
Formatting to (none) and set the Changed lines to your preference -
Left
Border, Right Border or Outside.

If you are using XP, you will need to do this by a macro as they did
not
make all of the options available through the above dialog

Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkNone
Options.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkNone

We're doing QA documents and would like to accept all tracked
changes
but
KEEP the vertical bars where the changed text occurred in the
final
document.
Is this possible? I think I've seen it but can't remember the
commands.

Thanks,
Susy
