Remove Hidden Data Tool and Accept All Changes in Document
There is a great debate going on in my office regarding the Tracking and
Reviewing features of Word. The higher ups are telling me that the "accept all changes" does not remove all tracked information from the document. However, I can find no information to support this theory. I have tested the new Remove Hidden Data Tool for Word and it appears that one of the macro steps is to accept all changes in the document. For purposes of quality control, I do need to verify that the reviewing features are removing the data. Anyone have any idea? thanks! Natalie |

Natalie,
Every time I have seen this assertion, it has amounted to confusion on the asserter's part concerning the difference between accepting all changes in a document and just changing the display options for track changes so they are not shown. I can tell you with supreme confidence that when you accept all changes in a document, save, and close that document, those changes are gone and irretrievable.

Thanks Chad. That's what I thought -- but I'm having trouble getting the
higher ups to believe me! (as usual)!!! "Chad DeMeyer" cjdemeye at bechtel dot com wrote in message ...
