The changed text becomes the current selection. Use the properties of the resulting Revision object to see what type of change it is, who made it, and so forth. Use the methods of the Revision object to accept or reject the change.
If there are no tracked changes to be found, the current selection remains unchanged.
Example
This example rejects the next tracked change found after the fifth paragraph in the active document. The revTempvariable is set to Nothing if a change is not found.
Dim rngTemp as Range
Dim revTemp as Revision
If ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count >= 5 Then
Set rngTemp = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(5).Range
rngTemp.Select
Set revTemp = Selection.NextRevision(Wrap:=False)
If Not (revTemp Is Nothing) Then revTemp.Reject
End If
This example accepts the next tracked change found if the change type is inserted text.
Dim revTemp as Revision
Set revTemp = Selection.NextRevision(Wrap:=True)
If Not (revTemp Is Nothing) Then
If revTemp.Type = wdRevisionInsert Then revTemp.Accept
End If
This example finds the next revision after the current selection made by the author of the document.
Dim revTemp as Revision
Dim strAuthor as String
strAuthor = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyAuthor)
Do While True
Set revTemp = Selection.NextRevision(Wrap:=False)
If Not (revTemp Is Nothing) Then
If revTemp.Author = strAuthor Then
MsgBox Prompt:="Another revision by " & strAuthor & "!"
Exit Do
End If
