This article was previously published under Q163190
SYMPTOMS
If you review tracked changes in a document that is protected for tracked changes, the Accept All and Reject All buttons are available in the Accept or Reject Changes dialog box. However, neither button will accept or reject changes in the document.
RESOLUTION
To accept or reject tracked changes, you must unprotect the document by clicking Unprotect Document on the Tools menu and typing a password (if the document was protected using a password).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Word 2000.
MORE INFORMATION
When the document is protected for tracked changes, the Accept All and Reject All buttons should be unavailable (dimmed), because accepting or rejecting tracked changes is not allowed in a document that is protected for tracked changes.
To find the Accept All and Reject All buttons, point to Track Changes on the Tools menu and then click Accept or Reject Changes.
