Is there an easy way to accept ONLY deletions in Word 2003? I want to leave
additions and accept (not hide) deletions. Microsoft wouldn't fail to add
such an intuitive need for Track Changes would they?

Indeed they would. :-(

You can review each change individually and decide whether to accept,
reject, or skip it. To make this easier, you can restore the Reviewing
toolbar from previous editions, which has the advantage that it
automatically jumps to the next revision each time you click Accept or
Reject (I hope they demoted the wizard who thought that wasn't
useful). To do that, open the Tools Customize dialog, select All
Commands on the left, grab ToolsReviewRevisions on the right, and drag
it to a toolbar or menu. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm
for full instructions.

To suit your requirements exactly, you need a macro. Use the
instructions at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to load
this one:

Sub AcceptDeletions()
Dim oChange As Revision
For Each oChange In ActiveDocument.Revisions
With oChange
If .Type = wdRevisionDelete Then
.Accept
End If
End With
Next oChange
End Sub

Then assign a toolbar button to the macro.
