Track changes between Word versions
Hi I'm having a problem with Reviewer marks and tracking changes.
The document is created and modified with Word 2000. It goes through a review process with track changes. Once it is finished, I am using the accept all changes. So when I open the document I don't see any changes because they have been accepted. I have sent the document to somebody that is using Word 2003. They have the ability to change the view to Final Showing Markup. This allows them to see all the tracked changes that I thought were accepted. I don't want this to happen so my question is: How in Word 2000 do I accept all document revisions (comments, deletions, etc) and save the Word 2000 document so that NO revision text is visible even in Word 2003. I have tried the Remove hidden text utility from Microsoft but it doesn't seem to be working either. Besides that I have hundreds of documents that have been created NOT in Word 2003 (like in word 2000 and Word 97) so I really don't want to resort to using a utility to batch process these documents. Thanks... Paul Malcomson |

Hi Pmalcoms,
I recall seeing this reported, before. There was always some question whether the person asking had actually accepted changes, or just turned off the display. You seem to be pretty clear on what's what, though :-) In this case, my best guess would be that there may be some damage in the file's structures, so this information isn't being removed. If you round-trip the document through RTF format does the situation improve? The document is created and modified with Word 2000. It goes through a review process with track changes. Once it is finished, I am using the accept all changes. So when I open the document I don't see any changes because they have been accepted. I have sent the document to somebody that is using Word 2003. They have the ability to change the view to Final Showing Markup. This allows them to see all the tracked changes that I thought were accepted.
