[Dba-office] Word track changes question

[Rocky Smolin]

Yeah, once you accept the changes it is gone.  But that's kind of an odd
request.  Why do they want that? Do they want the user to have the option to
see the changes, in which case track changes is the solution, which they
could advise them about in a readme.txt file, or do they want to compel the
user for some reason to have to retain the changes in tracking so the
original is always visible?

John, I think once you accept a change, it's gone, isn't it? I was just
playing with it for a minute and I couldn't get revisions back. I don't use
this feature much and I'll admit, I don't know everything there is to know!
