Hi Elizabeth,
I think it is a 2007 thing because I don't remember having this problem before
and that is the version we run. We've tried saving it in various locations to
no avail!

Hmmm... that's new to me. As far as I know, anyone can accept changes.
Are they opening the document from the email and then accepting the changes and
trying to save back to the email? Have you tried saving getting them to save it
locally, then re-attaching the doc to the email?
Unless this is a 2007 "feature" - I'm still on 2003.

Hi,
I'm hoping you can help!
When I want someone to review changes I've made to a document I use the "track
changes" option so the recipient can clearly see where amendments have been
made and comment accordingly. This seems on the surface like a sensible thing
to do. However I'm getting push back on using this tool because if the person
I email the document to accepts all changes then saves the document and emails
it on, the tracked changes reappear and if they then accept those changes and
email the document on they appear again and so on and so forth. We've tried
cutting and pasting into a new document and then saving it but that doesn't
clear the tracked changes either.
I think the only way for all the changes to be accepted once and for all is for
the original creator of the document to accept them. Is this correct?
Is there another way around this and / or any recommendations for another tool
to track changes in Word without printing the document off and using a
highlighter the old fashioned way?!
Thanks!
Anna
