Skip cross-reference changes when clicking "Next" in the rev toolb
Hi All:
I review changes that people make to very large MS Word documents (I use Office 2003). Even if they make a very small change to the large document, when they update the table of contents and all cross-references (such as links to heading numbers or heading text in the text of the document), many times these numerous cross references are shown as a change (even when it is the same text). My problem is that even for a one sentence change in a large document (that someone else does, so I have no control over what they do), every time I click on "Next" in the revision toolbar, I go to a changed cross-reference, when I would really just like to see what text the author him/herself changed. Is there any way that I can click "next", and only see the text that the author has changed, and not all the updated cross-references? Thanks, Rob |

A field update is a change, of sorts, and the legal users would yell at MSFT if Word wouldn't show it as such, I reckon ... :-) Greetinx Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Skip cross-reference changes when clicking "Next" in the rev t
To keep the legal folks happy, is there a switch anywhere to tell MS Word to
skip the cross-references when going to the next difference? This way, either method can be chosen and everybody is happy. "Robert M.
