Default Accepting/rejecting language formatting in Track Changes

Hi,


This is linked to this solved issue regarding the 'Unknown Field Code' change tracked by Word. I did reply to that topic, but since it's marked as solved, I thought I should probably start a new thread instead. I hope I've done the right thing .

I want to know if it's possible to only accept/reject changes to the text language (e.g. 'Formatted: English (United Kingdom)'). These occur when docs are shared between people with different default system languages and are applied automatically when Track Changes are enabled. I know you can accept/reject all formatting changes, but there are some (bold, italics, alignment etc.) that I want to leave in.

Thanks very much in advance.
[edit: example doc attached]

Yes, it is possible. Something along the lines of
Code:
Sub SelectiveAmnesia()
  Dim aRev As Revision
  For Each aRev In ActiveDocument.Revisions
    Debug.Print aRev.FormatDescription
    If aRev.FormatDescription = "Formatted: English (United Kingdom)" Then
      aRev.Accept
    End If
  Next aRev
End Sub
