Unfortunately you haven't missed anything; that's just the way Word works.. When
you accept changes, Word doesn't retain any "memory" of where the changes were,
and that includes the change bars.
Instead of accepting changes, you have to go into the Track Changes Options
dialog to set the markup for insertions to "none" and for deletions to "hidden".
That will allow the change bars to remain, while making the markup look the same
as if the changes had been accepted.

Hi Jay
You have solved half my problem the other half is how do I change the
"changed lines"default line width. The default .5 pt line needs to be
3 point for my work and I cannot see how to fix this other than to
draw a 3 pt line over every change bar that Word generates.
