SYMPTOMS
When you work in a master document containing a subdocument that has revisions, the following problems may be encountered:


 * The Accept, Reject, Accept All and Reject All buttons in the Accept or Reject Changes dialog are unavailable so you can't review your changes.
 * When you click the Find button in the Accept or Reject Changes dialog box, you receive the error message "Word found no tracked changes."



Method 1: Expand Your Subdocument

 * 1) Open your master document.
 * 2) If your subdocument is not expanded, you will see a hyperlink in place of the subdocument. On the Master Document toolbar, click the Expand Subdocuments button.

This will open your subdocument inside the master document.
 * 1) On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, and then click Accept or Reject Changes.

Method 2: Open the Subdocument

 * 1) Open your master document.
 * 2) If your subdocument is not expanded, you will see a hyperlink in place of the subdocument. Click the hyperlink.

This will open your subdocument as a separate file.
 * 1) On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, and then click Accept or Reject Changes.



MORE INFORMATION
When you open a master document, all subdocuments are collapsed--that is, each subdocument appears as a hyperlink. Word cannot display revisions in a subdocument if the subdocument hyperlink is visible.

You can click a hyperlink to open the subdocument and work on it in its own window. If you prefer to work on the master document as a whole, you can expand the subdocuments and work on them in place or switch to normal view.
