The latest version of MS Word 2003 doesn't have simple the 'accept' or
'reject' changes function any longer. One has to refer to a 'markup' version
of the changed document, which is a total mess and is virutally unusable.

Whatever happened to Keep it Simple at MS?

Please let us choose the older Track Changes, the way it was in previous
versions.

If you disable balloons or view the document in Normal view, it looks the
same as it did in previous versions. And you can accept or reject individual
or all changes using the Reviewing toolbar.

That may be so, but there is no feature any more to automatically go to the
next change when a change has been accepted or rejected, making it a pain
(more effort, therefore greater cost) to assess and dispose of tracked
changes individually.

Bring back the "tracked changes wizard tool"

You can do this. Using Tools | Customize, find the ToolsReviewRevisions
command (under All Commands) and drag the button to your Reviewing toolbar.

Oooh yes!

Shame it is hidden by default.
