Reviewing Tracked Changes in Word 2002

[Keri Mac]

Word 2000 had a feature that allowed you to go through the tracked changes and when you approved one, it automatically moved to the next one. When I am using this feature in Word 2002, it doesn't automatically advance to the next change after I approve/reject one. Is there something I can do to change this setting?

You're using the old dialog box interface? No, there's nothing you can do to change how this behaves in Word 2002.

Hi Kerri

This functionality has been removed in Word 2002. But you can reinstate
the old dialog box. Use Tools > Customize. In the Save In box, choose
normal.dot. On the Commands tab, in the Categories box choose All
Commands. In the Commands box, find the command ToolsReviewRevisions and
drag it to a toolbar. The Reviewing toolbar is a good place to put it.

If you're later asked whether you want to save normal.dot, say yes.

When you click the button you have just created, it will work the same
as it did in Word 2000.

Hope this helps.
