WAY TO ACCEPT ALL FORMATTING CHANGES IN WORD HOW TO

If you haven’t hidden any reviewers, this option will be grayed out. Then click the tiny down arrow below the Accept button. This will hide all the changes you’ve made for the moment. For the sake of this tutorial, let’s say I’m Ruth and my editor is Julia. You should see both your name (or initials) and your editor’s. Click Reviewers, which is at the bottom of the list. If you made any changes to the document of your own that you still want your editor to review, click Show Markup, just to the left of the Accept button. Click Accept All Changes in Document (the bottom one in the drop-down menu). If you have not made any changes of your own to the document (other than rejecting changes), click the tiny down arrow below the Accept button. When you get to the end of the document using this method, you can feel confident that you have viewed all changes, that any changes that you didn’t like have been changed so that you’re happy with them, and that everything remaining is ready to be accepted. Because you’re jumping quickly through your document, this shouldn’t take long, and because you’re using the Next button, you’re not accidentally missing any changes. Keep clicking Next after viewing each change that is acceptable to you. Do not click Accept! If it’s not a change you like, either reject the change using one of the three methods listed above or make a change of your own (your change will be tracked in a different color). This will show you the first change tracked in your document. If you have a long document or a document with many changes, clicking Accept hundreds of times can get tedious and time consuming.

If you disagreed with the addition of the word for some reason, you would click Reject instead of Accept, but the rest of the steps would be the same. Of these three methods, this one is the fastest. You could click at the beginning of your document and click the Next button to jump to the first change in the document and then click the Accept button.Both are near the right side of your screen.

It is the little white page with a blue check mark on it, to the left of the white page with a red X on it (the Reject button). Below is an image of the Review tab so you can see where the Accept button is.

You could click the word and click the Accept button in the Review tab.

Note: The menu may also say “Accept Deletion” or “Accept Formatting Change,” depending on the type of change the editor made.

You could right-click the red, underlined word, which would bring up the menu shown below, after which you would click Accept Insertion.

Let’s say you notice that a word has been added within your first paragraph, and you’re fine with the editor’s addition of that word. Anything added is underlined, anything deleted is struck through, and any formatting changes are noted with a dotted line out into the margin, where a little bubble informs you of the change made.

(If you know how to use Tracking Changes, go ahead and skip to the Time-Saving Trick heading.) When you open your document, you will notice colored changes-usually red-throughout your document. For the purposes of this post, let’s assume that you are the author and that you have just gotten a marked-up draft back from your editor. Whether you already know how to use Tracking Changes or not, I hope you’ll learn something in this tutorial.

The author can view the editor’s changes and use a tool in Word to either accept or reject these changes. What this means is that authors and editors can communicate by email, sending versions of the document back and forth until it’s complete. The days of writing in red pen all over hard copies of documents are largely gone. As many of you probably know, editors usually use Microsoft Word’s Tracking Changes feature to mark their editing changes.
