Track Changes in MS Word can track the revisions, corrections, changes, edits, and even suggestions and comments people make to documents. When you receive a revised document with Track Changes turned on, you can decide whether to reject the changes to keep the original content or directly accept them. This article will demonstrate how to programmatically accept or reject all tracked changes in a Word document using Spire.Doc for .NET.
Install Spire.Doc for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for .NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc
Accept All Tracked Changes in a Word Document
The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a sample Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Accept all changes in the document using Document.AcceptChanges() method.
- Save the document to another file using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
namespace AcceptTrackedChanges
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document instance
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a sample Word document
doc.LoadFromFile("test.docx");
//Accept all changes in the document
doc.AcceptChanges();
//Save the result document
doc.SaveToFile("AcceptTrackedChanges.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
}
