accept/reject changes functionality lost in 2002?

[Tony]

In prior versions, one could have accept/reject changes
automatically find and go to the next change as soon as
you accepted or rejected the present one. Now it seems
you have to click the "find next change" arrow. This is
a definite "downgrade" unless I'm missing something.
Anyone know how to get it to work as it used to?

Hi Tony,

In prior versions, one could have accept/reject changes
automatically find and go to the next change as soon as
you accepted or rejected the present one. Now it seems
you have to click the "find next change" arrow. This is
a definite "downgrade" unless I'm missing something.
Anyone know how to get it to work as it used to?

You can pull the old dialog box out of
Tools/Customize/Commands, under "All commands":
ToolsReviewRevisions. Note, though, that it hasn't retained
ALL of the previous functionality. But it does do the basic
"jump to next change", as I recall.

What I would have found ideal (and what does work in Word
2003) would be to use the Reviewing Pane (opens across the
bottom of the screen) to go through the changes, accepting,
rejecting and editing. Unfortunately, in Word 2002 clicking
in a change in the Reviewing pane doesn't put the scroll
the document to that context, which makes it impossible to
work...
