How to Accept or Reject Tracked Changes to a Document in Word 2003

Tracked changes in Word 2003 are like a professor's handwritten comments on a term paper. You can use it to electronically review and edit any Word document. Here's how to accept or reject the changes.



Step1
Send your document to an editor.


Step2
Before making any changes to the document, the editor must click "Tools" and then "Track Changes." A new toolbar appears, and changes to the document are thenceforth marked. Deletions, insertions and other editing changes will appear in a second color, underlined or with a comment.


Step3
When the editor finishes, he or she must save the document and send it back to you.


Step4
Review the changes. To accept a change, right-click on a tracked change and select "Accept." This removes the tracking mark and the text now appears pristine. To dismiss a change, right-click on a tracked change and select "Reject." This removes the tracking mark and returns the text to its original state. For example, an insertion will vanish and a deletion will reappear.


Step5
The editor may have inserted comments as well. Click the "New Comment" button from the reviewing toolbar to respond to them.
