Unable to use accept all changes feature

[Guest]

I am using MS Word 2003 with a document that has tracked changes and markup
on it. The changes have been made by numerous people, however when I try to
accept all changes, nothing happens. I still see the markup and changes and
such. Is there something that I can do to get the changes accepted?

Try turning Track Changes OFF, first, and see if that helps.

I have the Track Changes turned off, and it still shows the markup and accept
all changes is not doing anything.

And if you click in a change, right-click, and choose to accept or reject the
individual change, does that work? Note that if a change area contains both
insertions and deletions that you may need to "hit it" twice.

What happens if you use the Next or Previous button on the Reviewing
toolbar? My hunch is that it will tell you that "The document contains no
comments or tracked changes" because the markup has been created as direct
formatting either by the user manually or by a markup add-in such as
DeltaView.

Hi Suzanne,

I think I'm having the same problem and that your hunch may be the reason.
Is almost as if they used strike through text with double underline.
Is there any work around for it?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Probably not. I think you'll just have to correct each instance manually.
Bummer!

 

[grammatim]

Use Find/Replace: Find > More > Format > Font > Strikethrough; Replace
with nothing at all.

Find > More > Format > Font > Double underline ,color; Replace with
Not Double underline (set the Underline dropdown to None), color Auto.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

But that will not address the issue of deleting the struckthrough text,
though you could do this by setting "Find what" to ^?, formatted as
Strikethrough, and leaving "Replace with" blank.

 

[grammatim]

I think I've deleted text by finding a format and replacing with
nothing!

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Possibly so; you're probably right.
