The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 2000
  • Microsoft Word 2001 for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q209584

SYMPTOMS

When you use Accept or Reject Changes (on the Tools menu, click Track Changes) with a Word table where the following conditions are both true
  • At least one single table row contains more than one revision.
  • Each revision is of a different type. For example, one addition and one deletion.
clicking Find (in the Accept or Reject Changes dialog box) selects an entire table row.

If you then click Accept (in the Accept or Reject Changes dialog box), one type of revision in the single row is accepted, but another type of revision in the same row is ignored.

To accept all revisions in a single row of a table, multiple passes must be made using Find and then Accept or Reject.

WORKAROUND

This problem does not occur with the Reviewing toolbar. To work around this problem, you can use the Reviewing toolbar to accept or reject changes while working in a table. On the View menu, point to Toolbars and then click to view Reviewing.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
