Removing Tracked Changes in Word XP
One way to remove all changes except content is to do a "Save As" on the
document, saving it as an RTF file. (I learned this from an MVP here.)
That will remove macros, tracked changes and comments.
You can do this with
'Save the active document in Rich Text Format
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="myFile.RTF", _
FileFormat:=wdFormatRTF
'You might want to close the document completely here --
'IFF the macro is not in the active document!
ActiveDocument.Close
'Open a document that is in RTF without a dialog about it
Documents.Open FileName:="myFile.RTF", _
ConfirmConversions:=False, _
Format:=wdOpenFormatRTF
