Keyobard shortcuts for reviewing?

I'll be reviewing a bunch of documents with revisions. I want to go through
them and review the changes one by one and accept or reject the revision.

Of course, I can use the Reviewing toolbar, and keep clicking on Next and
Accept Change or Reject Change. But are there any keyboard shortcuts for
these actions, so I don't have to keep going back and forth between the mouse
and the keyboard?

Thanks.

You can assign your own shortcuts to Accept, Reject, and Next Change
commands in the Customize Keyboard dialog box.

Thank you. Works fine.

Here's the answer I posted to a similar question in word.newusers yesterday:

Using Tools | Customize, you can add a button for the Accept or Reject
Changes dialog (from earlier versions) to the Reviewing toolbar; the command
to look for, IIRC, is ToolsReviewRevisions. When this dialog is open,
clicking Find takes you to the first change. Clicking Accept accepts the
change and takes you to the next one (a single click instead of two).

The Undo dialog records this action as Change Accept, so you might be
hopeful that you could assign a keyboard shortcut to this action.
Unfortunately, clicking the Accept Change button on the Reviewing toolbar
shows up the same way in the Undo list. Moreover, the list of All Commands
in the Customize Keyboard dialog doesn't even list this one, at least not
with that name. You might, however, see if ToolsRevisionMarksAccept is the
one you want.
