Any way to accept format changes only?
When I compared & merged two versions of a document (with lots of tables), I
got a ton of format changes. I'd like to accept them so that only the substantive changes can remain. But it would take forever to go through the 200 page document and accept the format changes one at a time. Is there any way that I can accept those changes only? Or have them not appear in the mark up view? Thanks. |

If this is Word 2002 or 2003, on the Show menu uncheck everything except
Formatting. Then, on the Accept Change menu, click on Accept All Changes Shown. Or you can hide them by just clearing Formatting from the Show menu. -- Suzanne S.

OK, I tried this and it worked with one exception. It won't accept a track
change for a change in bullet number because the deleted bullet is still present as a deletion. Is this a quirk with Word? -- LAC "jazzfan77" wrote: That did it. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

What "Show" menu? I have 2003, but I don't see a show menu anywhere.

The Show menu is on the Reviewing toolbar.

Any way to accept format changes only?
I also encounter this problem.
I'm working with Word 2007, tracking changes in a large document with lots of tables and styles. It's also based on a template I created. For some reason, when I display only formatting changes and then clock "accept all changes shown," it doesn't. It will accept some formatting changes, but not all. Furthermore, when I send the document to someone else, all of the formatting changes still show up. I don't know how to get rid of them all unless I remove/accept ALL changes in the document, which I can't do as important insertions and comments need to remain. If anyone has any advice on the matter, it would be much appreciated! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The Show menu is on the Reviewing toolbar. -- Suzanne S.
