There is a way, with a little customization.
Open the Tools > Customize dialog. In the Categories list, choose All
Commands. In the Command list, find "ToolsReviewRevisions", drag it to the
Tools menu, and hover there while holding the mouse button. When the menu
drops down, continue dragging and finally drop the item below the Track
Changes item.
The next bit is helpful but not necessary. Right-click the new "Accept or
Reject Changes" item. In the Name box, delete the & symbol before the 'A'
and insert it between the 'e' and 'j' in Reject. That will change the hotkey
for the command from 'a' (which is already in use for AutoCorrect Options)
to 'j', saving you an extra Enter keystroke when you want to invoke the
command.
Close the Customize dialog. I recommend at this point holding the Shift key
while you click File, then choose Save All to save the Normal.dot template,
where your new command is stored. Otherwise, you can wait until you're
shutting down Word; if you're prompted to save Normal.dot, say yes.
The new command (shortcut Alt+T, j) opens the old pre-Word 2003 Accept Or
Reject Changes dialog, which you can operate with Alt-key shortcuts. The
newer Reviewing toolbar doesnt respond properly to keystrokes, and has the
further disadvantage that accepting or rejecting a change doesn't select the
next change automatically -- the old dialog does.

Thanks so much for this tip, Jay. This was the one thing that I really missed
about the older UI for change tracking. (It took me a little bit of time to
figure out that your instructions are to be carried out in the Commands tab
of the Customize dialog. But apart from that your instructions are very
clear.) Thanks again.
