Hi,

I'm using Word 2000 and tracking my changes to a modified
document. Is there a way to do the following:
1) View the document as if I had accepted all the changes?
2) Change the color of the added text and remove the
underline?
3) change the default so that the table of contents and
header/footers do not require you to accept changes (it
just automatically accepts any changes made)?
 
The answer to (2) is on the Track Changes tab of Tools | Options, where you
can select the desired formatting for added text. As for (1), in Word 2002
and 2003, you can change the view of the document from the Reviewing
toolbar; in Word 2000, I believe there is a "Show changes on screen" setting
under Tools | Track Changes.

I don't know the answer to (3).

MarkD,

See Suzanne's response for answers to 1 and 2. The best approach for 3 is
to turn on the option to update fields at print (Tools>Options>Print, put a
check next to 'Update fields'), then get into the habit of always turning
off revision tracking before you go to print and turning it back on after
printing. Or, to make things even simpler in the long run, you could
construct a macro that turns off track changes if it is on, displays the
Print dialog, then turns off track changes if they were on before the macro
executed, and assign the macro to a toolbar button with the Print icon.

Regards,
Chad
 
Correction:

"...displays the Print dialog, then turns track changes back on if they were
on before the macro executed..."

1) Turn off track changes temporarily

2) Dunno

3) Not poss, but you could include a macro that when activated checks
all field ranges for containing changes and blindly accepting them.
