Accept Paragraph Number Change
I posted this last week (original post pasted in below) and didn't get a
satisfactory answer. Is there an easy way to accept a changed paragraph number in Word 2007 without accepting the other changes in the paragraph? After making many changes in a document with numbered paragraphs, I added a paragraph. This changed all the following paragraph numbers, and the new paragraph numbers now show up as tracked changes. My manager considers non-content changes such as these "clutter," and she insists that we accept them before sending documents out for review. How can I accept the paragraph number changes without accepting all other changes, too? It would be nice if I could just undo all the changes I made after I added the new material, but I've gone way beyond that now. In 2003, this was easy. There's probably an easy answer in 2007, too. But like everything else in 2007, it's almost impossibly hard to find the answer because nothing is where you expect it to be. Thanks, Jerry -----Here's my original posting----- On Jan 14, 7:34 pm, Jerry wrote: I am a new (and still frustrated) user of Word 2007.

Accept Paragraph Number Change
The fact that no one added anything to my response suggests that my
response is the most satisfactory solution to your problem. You reported that you tried a lot of stuff after you noticed the problem -- I said you should undo all the things you tried that didn't work, and then simply turn off Track Changes, add your new numbered paragraph, and turn Track Changes back on (and then type the content of the new numbered paragraph, if you want it to be marked as an added paragraph). Did that not work? On Jan 18, 10:37*am, Jerry wrote: I posted this last week (original post pasted in below) and didn't get a satisfactory answer.

Accept Paragraph Number Change
If I had immediately realized that I wouldn't be allowed to accept paragraph
numbering changes, I would have done what you ask. Unfortunately, I performed nearly a full day of editing on the document before I tried to clean up the clutter. I can't just close without saving at this point, and I can't undo the changes. I'm just stuck with changes that Word 2007 won't accept. Ever since I "upgraded" to 2007, I've felt like Gregor Samsa. I woke up one morning and my whole world was changed. I'm not even sure that I will ever want this nightmare to feel normal. "Peter T.

Accept Paragraph Number Change
Try again with selecting the numbering, but be sure to click the new heading
number (the one without deletion markup) and accept the change for it. The markup on the rest of the numbers should go away, but the paragraph text should be unaffected. If I click one of the other numbers (with deletion markup), the accept/reject change icons do not light up. I saw your first message andI was pretty sure I had done this several times before in W2007, but didn't have time to test it before answering. Apologies.
