Word should let me sort changes and comments by date

[Alo Joosepson]

I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2003. I often have to read and compare large
documents that have track changes and comments by several authors in it.
Although I am able to see that the file has been changed, it is rather time
consuming to find where are the latest changes and comments. The comments
even in the reviewing pane are ordered as they linearly appear within the
document. I would like an option to sort the comments and track changes in
the reviewing pane by date. This way I could quickly find the latest changes
to the document and follow the changes step-by-step to those that i already
reviewed when I was last time reading that document.

Hi Jay:

I just found and tried out your great VBA for viewing track changes in
organized lists. I'm trying to figure out how to build a track changes list
based on author. I'd like to invoke the macro, choose an author name from a
drop-down list (generated by the VBA) and then populate a fresh document with
only those changes done by the selected author.

I'm a VBA neophyte and so am having trouble figuring out how to adapt your
code to do this. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
