accepting tracked changes one by one using keyboard equivalents

M

As a book editor in educational publishing, I used to accept/reject changes
by going into 'Accept or Reject changes' and then being able to use the
equivalent keyboard command ('e' to accept, 'f' to find next) and this was a
great way to work faster (using both hands) and also give my right hand (on
the mouse) a break from clicking. Has this feature really disappeared in Word
2007? If so, this would greatly slow down my ability to accept/reject the
many changes in very long, heavily edited documents. Very sad and regretting
my $$ upgrade... :(

Just set up your own keyboard shortcuts. (Tools/Customize/Commands/Keyboard/All Commands: Accept . . .; Next . . .; Previous . . .;
Reject . . .) I use Ctrl + the following numbers from the number keypad (because I find the arrows make them intuitive), but you
could use anything not already reserved:

Ctrl+6 - find next change
Ctrl+4 - find previous change
Ctrl+8 - accept change
Ctrl+2 - reject change
