Default track changes

Hi,

I am using Word 2003.

I had a document which I used the tracking changes option. Since then it
seems I have many documents that still track the changes. Every time I open
the document I have to do €śview€ť €śmarkup€ť to €śunshow€ť the changes I made a
long time ago. I hate this.

I the older version of Word I knew how to €śaccept all changes€ť and go on
from there.

In this version, if I use the track changes feature, how do I accept changes
and never use the feature again for that document?

Thanks.
Kathy

Default track changes

Assuming that Track Changes is turned off (the letters "TRK" on the
status bar are gray and not black), you won't accumulate any more
changes.

To remove the ones that are there now, display the Reviewing toolbar,
click the down arrow next to the Accept Change button, and click
"Accept All Changes in Document".

If you'd rather have the old Accept/Reject Changes dialog (which has
the advantage that it jumps to the next change when you accept or
reject one change), you can add a button for it to your toolbar. Use
the procedure at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm.
The command to add is in the All Commands Category, with the name
ToolsReviewRevisions.
