track changes (Word 2003) not advancing automatically

[john gibb]

Hi,

It could be me, but i seem to remember that once i accepted or rejected a
proposed change, the Word Track-Changes feature (in previous versions) would
automatically advance to the next change...now it requires selecting Next or
Previous...

How do I get Word 2003 to automatically advance to the next change?

thanks,

-john

It isn't you. The reviewing toolbar in 2003 is a step backward. Fortunately,
you can still have the old one.

Open the Tools > Customize dialog to the Commands tab. In the Categories
list, select All Commands. In the Commands list, scroll down and find
ToolsReviewRevisions. Drag that command out of the Customize dialog, hover
the mouse cursor over the Tools menu until it opens, and drop the command
below the Track Changes item. It will appear as "Accept or Reject
Changes...". Close the Customize dialog.

When you choose that command, you'll get the old reviewing bar with the old
behavior.
