Sorry. You've gone beyond what I know.
I know that Word's "track changes" feature is intended to track "current
state" of the document. If you need to track "current state" over time and
after accepting changes, across multiple "current state" situations, you
need more than what Word can natively provide.
But if you're already hooked into Shauna's site, you're miles ahead of most
users. You've already got one of the best resources.

Hi,
That was what I had thought as well. If that is the case, then why
was Microsoft Tracked Hidden Tool created?
I referred to the site that had been posted as a reply to other
questions:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trac....html#Security
This site discusses metadata - how do I access the metadata in a word
document? Even with the existance of this metadata that keeps a
history of changes that have occured to a document, after the changes
have been accepted they are permanent?
Thank-you for taking the time to help me to work through this.
You could use a version control system such as Microsoft's VSS to
keep various versions of the document, but once you accept changes
you've done exactly that: you've accepted the changes as a permanent
change to the document.

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way (or multiple ways) to take a
document that has had multiple changes completed with tracking on
and view the tracked changes over the life of the document after
they have been accepted.
This would include seeing the deletions/additions that have been
accepted at various points over a year or more, etc.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
