Import only tracked changes from reviewer

[Paul]

I have a baseline document that is being reviewed by 2 reviewers. As
I edit the document, I *selectively* track changes made to the
document for the awareness of reviewer#1.

Reviewer#2 has made tracked changes and comments to a copy of the
document provided to him 1 day ago. However, I have also continued to
edit the live document, selectively tracking the changes & commenting
for the awareness of Reviewer#2. Now its time to merge Reviewer#2's
changes & comments into my baseline document.

"Merge into current document" doesn't work for me because it finds all
differences between my document and Reviewer#2's document. It does
not just import the tracked changes, which is what I want. Here is an
example of how "Merge into current document" fails.

I make a lot of citations to references in my document. If I remove
one reference near the top of the reference list, most of the
references change numbers (by one). Most of the citations to those
references change, too. All these changes are flagged as insertions
and deletions throughout the document when I merge in Reviewer#2's
changes/comments.

I don't want the citations to show as modifications because no one
really cares what the exact citation numbers are so long they match
the right references in the reference list. I cannot simply accept
changes made by me in order to get rid of the markups for the
citations because I'm also tracking many other changes for the
awareness of Reviewer#1. It looks like I have to manually hunt down
all marked up citations and accept them individually (and hope that
none of them represent a real change). This is a daunting task.

Is there a better way? I can't imagine that this is too unusual a
circumstance.

Further to the above problem, the problem can be solved by simply
being able to import only the tracked changes from Reviewer#2...not by
comparing my live baseline document with the document from Reviewer#2
(which turns up much more than just the tracked changes from
Reviewer#2). So I guess this question boils down to "Is there a way
to import only tracked changes from another document?".
