I am using Word 2002 SP-2. I have enabled the "Track Changes" feature
and have "Accepted All Changes" a few times after some significant
revisions.

I would like to be able to view any of the past "accepted-all-changes"
baslines I choose (ie, skip back to previous "snapshots") without
loosing any of the changes I've made. I want to be able to "skip
around" to any baseline I choose.

Can Word do this? How?

Thanks for any help,
Matt

Not directly. What you could do is save each "baseline" as a separate
document (copy of the working file). Then using Tools/Compare and Merge
documents you should be able to see the changes between any two
"versions". Or simply save a copy before accepting the changes.
