There should be a way to accept a block of redline text

[Guest]

Often time I find myself wasting time individually accepting tiny blocks of
acceptions or deletions in a redlined text. This is tedious work. I think
there's a way to accept all changes in a document. What if I don't want to
accept all changes? I think a better way would be to highlight a block of
text and right-click. There should be an option to accept or reject all
changes within that block.

You don't mention which version of Word you're using, but...

I can do exactly what you suggest, using Word 2003 and the accept/reject
buttons in the Reviewing toolbar.
