Saving Accepts all Tracked Changes by Mistake (MS Word 2003)

[gregt]

I'm making changes to a word doc (Word 2003) via track changes that someone
sent me after making a first round of comments via track changes. After
making a few changes, I like to hit "save as" to ensure my changes are saved
along the way. When I do this, upon saving, MS Word ACCEPTS all the current
changes made in the document. As a result, you don't see the added changes
as a different color or underlined. The text looks like the rest of the
document because it's been accepted at this point. Really frustrating as I'm
trying to make changes to the doc and send back to a colleague. Anyone have
experience in solving this Track Changes SAVE issue ?

Seeing as how this is a forum for questions about Microsoft WORD, I doubt you
will find an answer here.

Apologies for my previous post. It appears that the newsgroup software posted
my reply in the wrong thread.

Gordon, my question is about Microsoft WORD as I'm using Track Changes in a
Microsoft Word document. Not sure I understand your humor, but if you have a
solution, let me know. Thx.

Umm... yeah... sorry about that. There have been some problems with the
newsgroup software not showing messages quite right. My post was meant to be
a reply to a question that definitely was NOT related to Word - burning text
files to CD - but somehow it got attached to the wrong thread.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you. Nothing I can see around
change tracking or file saving would cause this. You don't have any macros in
your document or in an add-in that would cause Word to accept all revisions,
do you?
