Track changes - Word 2000 to Word 2003

[Gert Pauwels]

Hi all,
here's a very big issue, mayb known to some of you. Word 2003 comes with a
default that displays all changes made in a document which has 'track
changes' on.

If you have a document created in let's say Word 2000 using track changes
and you finalize the document by accepting all changes, these changes
reappear if you open the document in Word 2003.

I tested this just this morning. I was amazed. I also found some references
to this problem in an article:

Just to let you guys know

Gert

Word does NOT display earlier versions if you have really accepted all
changes. Often users confuse hiding the markup with removing it. See
