Batch Accept Tracked Changes for Multiple Files

Post by garysamartino »

Is there a way to batch accept tracked changes for multiple files with them? Accepting tracked changes file-by-file is tedious. My current process is to view the Files with Tracked Changes report and individually open each file and do an Accept All. Then I have to wait for the report to regenerate with each file changed.

I came here with exactly the same question. If I have to open every single topic to Accept Changes, that pretty much renders the feature Too Much Trouble to use. :(

Also, I would like to be able to generate a PDF that includes the pending changes but that does *not* put the inserted text in red and does *not* display the deleted text. Basically so you can see how it's going to look after you accept all the changes. But you apparently can't do that. You can't even preview it that way. That's another big negative against using this feature.

Anyone have a decent alternative?
