There's no pleasing everyone. The AcceptChangesOrAdvance command was added
because of the loud complaints about having to click again to advance to the
next change after accepting one. At least you now have a choice.

Like another recent poster here, I found the innovation in Word2007 to
have "Accept Change" automatically take you to the next change to be
very annoying, so I put the buttons for the old-style Accept/Reject
Change (and stay there) on my Quick Access Toolbar, and assigned Ctrl-
Backslash and Ctrl-Pipe to those commands respectively (because
out-of-
the-box they were the two single-letter Control shortcuts I would have
absolutely no use for). So even if you're in Word2003, those are the
shortcuts I'd recommend you use when you follow Jay's instructions.

Peter and Jay,

Thank you so very much for your helpful responses. I now have a
better view of how this works. I am still disappointed at needing
to bounce back and forth between the keyboard and the mouse. What a
time-waster that is, when a couple key-strokes would be SO much
faster ... sigh.

There aren't any keyboard shortcuts by default, but you can assign
ones for yourself.

Go to Office button Word Options Customize. At the bottom left,
click the Keyboard Shortcuts Customize button. In the next dialog,
choose the Review Tab category.

In the Commands box, click the command AcceptChangesOrAdvance. Click
in the box marked "Press new shortcut key" and then type the shortcut
combination you want to use for this command. If that shortcut is
already assigned to another command, that will be shown below the
Current Keys box; you can click the Assign button to "steal" the
shortcut away from the other command, or backspace to remove your
first choice and try another. When you finally click the Assign
button, your shortcut will appear in the Current Keys box.

Then assign a shortcut to the RejectChangesOrAdvance command. Again,
be sure to click the Assign button for the shortcut you want. If you
click the Close button before hitting Assign, nothing will be
assigned.
