Tracking Changes in WORD '03?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Peggy Lucero reports: <<I have been given a "template" though it is not 
technically a REAL WORD template from the Gov't. This one template that 
I am using as our outline for a technical document has changes made 
with tracking changes turned on and these changes were never 
accepted...prior to my receiving the 'template'. I can't get tracking 
changes turned back on, it is grayed out... Seems to me the 
document/template is protected? When I look at the Tools menu, there is 
an item 'Unprotect Document' listed.>>

Sounds like a reasonable suspicion, but I'm not using Word 2003 and 
can't confirm this. That's what I'd expect with earlier versions of 
Word.

<<What is best for me to proceed to be able to use this 'template' as 
my outline document to customize it to meet our specific tech 
content....>>

One simple solution is to select all, copy, and paste into a clean new 
document. This will not only accept all the revisions but will give you 
a clean, unprotected document to work with. If the document is locked 
in such a way that you can't copy the text, best bet is to ask your 
colleague to send you a new file with all revisions accepted and the 
document unlocked.
