Using the Revisions Collection

Use the Revisions property to return the Revisions collection. The following example displays the number of revisions in the main text story.

MsgBox ActiveDocument.Revisions.Count

The following example accepts all the revisions in the selection.

For Each myRev In Selection.Range.Revisions

Next myRev

The following example accepts all the revisions in the first paragraph in the selection.

Set myRange = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range
myRange.Revisions.AcceptAll

The Add method isn't available for the Revisions collection. Revision objects are added when change tracking is enabled. Set the TrackRevisions property to True to track revisions made to the document text. The following example enables revision tracking in the active document and then inserts "The " before the selection.

ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = True
Selection.InsertBefore "The "

Use Revisions(index), where index is the index number, to return a single Revision object. The index number represents the position of the revision in the range or document. The following example displays the author name for the first revision in the first section.

MsgBox ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range.Revisions(1).Author
