I've got the newest version of Word. Now, when I click on "accept change" it 
automatically advances to the next change. I dont' want it to do that. It did 
not do this in the older (and still preferred) version of Word. How do I turn 
off this useless "improvement"?

Right-click on the Quick Access Toolbar and go to "Customize." From
the "All Commands" (or "Commands Not On Ribbon") list, find the
several that have to do with Accepting Changes. AFAICT you can't
determine which is which just from the listing, so put each of them on
the QAT and check which is the one that does what you want (then
remove the ones that don't). (I did that right away, and it works
fine. I also put the Turn On Track Changes and Next and Previous
Change arrow buttons there, much easier than manipulating the Ribbon
all the time.)

Here's a tip, BTW. My husband just installed Office 2007 and was wrestling 
with Excel. When I was showing him how to use (and customize) the QAT, we 
discovered accidentally that if you right-click on the Office Button, one of 
the context menu items is Customize Quick Access Toolbar. To me that seems 
like the quickest way to get to the Customize dialog--not any fewer clicks 
than clicking the arrow at the end of the QAT, but the Office Button is a 
bigger target, and the menu is shorter (three items), with the Customize 
command right at the top, as opposed to disguised as "More Commands..." down 
at the bottom.

When you click on "Accept Change" I suppose you are clicking on the large 
"Accept" splitbutton contol in the "Changes" group of the "Review" tab. 
Splitbutton controls are a new feature with the Ribbon.  Clicking the button 
executes the button command "Accept and Move to next."  Clicking the small 
down icon opens the splitbutton menu which presents you with a menu of 
commands to execute.  One of which is "Accept Change."

If you elect to take the course that Mr. Daniels suggests you can save 
yourself a lot of time by clicking that down icon, right click "Accept 
Change" and select "Add to Quick Access Toolbar"

For what it's worth, you can right-click anywhere on the Quick Access 
Toolbar or the ribbon and choose the Customize Quick Access Toolbar command.
