I need to copy and paste text with the track changes in place....when I copy
and paste, the track changes automatically are accepted. What can I do?
Thanks,
 
Good Morning

I found a work around in Tech Net Article Article ID : 917636, you basically
close down tracking and then copy it.

We have found the best way is to save the document, or at least the section
you want, with the track changes and do a file insert into the document you
want to add the changes to. The tracking still appears.
 
Just in case any other poor sod is wasting hours on this in Word 2007, if the
track changes are in a table, there doesn't seem to be any way of preserving
changes during a paste, even if you paste within the same document. Tried
every permutation of TRK enabled disabled with Smart Paste Options enabled
disabled and Source / Destination formatting. Haven't tried inserting from a
file as quite frankly it's quicker to apply my preferred solution.

The Solution? Get back to Word 2003.

Have you tested the workaround suggested in the article that Suzanne linked
to? As far as I can tell, it still works in Word 2007.
