Re: Accept change and automatically highlight next change

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I don't think there is any compendium of commands. Moreover, the specific ?
(What's This?) functionality was removed from most dialogs and the
Description button from Tools | Customize, making it even harder to find out
what specific options and commands do. The general dissatisfaction of Word
users with this situation has been communicated to the Word development and
UA teams, so perhaps we can hope for improvement (or at least some effort to
"put it back the way it was") in future versions.
