Andy, One way to disable track changes is with the keystroke Control + Shift + E, which toggles it off and on. That won't get rid of the inserted and deleted text messages, but it will prevent new ones being created. The keytips for accepting all the current changes are Alt to go to the ribbon, R to jump to the Review tab, A to activate the Accept control which gives a menu of options, D to choose Accept all changes in document.

Good luck. | | -----Original Message----- | From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of | Andy Collins | Sent: Tuesday April 29 2008 9:47AM | To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Subject: [access-uk] Document problem in office 2007 | | Hi all - | | I'm writing a very long document using word in Office 2007, and a couple of | strange things have happened that I can't resolve. | | Firstly, reading back what I have written, when I get near the end of the | text, JFW says "inserted text" and starts to read in a higher pitched voice; | if I arrow past this, JFW then says "deleted text" but doesn't actually seem | to read any. | | Arrowing up and down in this area of the screen I get a message telling me | when I have entered the inserted text and left it, and the same for the | deleted text. As the text reads as I want it, how can I get rid of these | messages? | | Also, most of the document is black on white [I get this info from using | insert 5] but towards the end of the document it has become red on white, | and from looking at the font ribbon [and I do have problems figuring out | these ribbon menus, and never did use short cut keys in earlier flavours of | word, so don't know how to bypass the use of the alt key and arrow keys to | access menus] I can't figure out how to change from red on white back to | black on white! | | Again, near the end of the document if I use insert f, I hear "double strike | through" in the layout info; I don't know what double strike through does, | or how to get rid of it. | | I would be very grateful for any help in sorting this out, as it is an | important document, and I need to get it looking right. Office 2007 feels | much less intuitive than my old word 2000! | | Thanks - | | Andy | | ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] | ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | ** and in the Subject line type | ** unsubscribe | ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the | ** immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] | ** or send a message, to | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq | | ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] | ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | ** and in the Subject line type | ** unsubscribe | ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the | ** immediately-following link:- | ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] | ** or send a message, to | ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq | ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
