Re: Accept change and automatically highlight next change

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Suzanne,

Thanks for following up. The functionality is what I'm looking for, but I
was hoping that there was a command that performed the action by the button
in the old interface, so that you could execute it in a non-modal settling.
As mentioned earlier, I can recreate that functionality in a macro and assign
it to a button.

I agree that in general the tracking and reviewing functions are better now
(especially with respect to comparing documents with tables) -- it just seems
they left that rather useful functionality where it was instead of
integrating it into the new interface.

So, out of curiosity, *is* there a compendium of commands?

Tx & rgds
