Tips:
To toggle to the first proposed change, click on Find. To accept or reject editor suggestions, click on Accept or Reject. Word removes the revision marks after a suggestion has been accepted or rejected. Word automatically moves to the next suggestion.

Click on Accept All to accept all editor suggestions. Editor comments will need to be addressed individually.
