Editing a document in Arbortext 5.3 with CPA 1.4. When I tried to accept all the changes, which I had successfully done earlier in the day, I got a message: "Cannot accept the change because it cannot be marked up by using CPA change markup or attributes."

Anyone know what this message means and how I can get my changes accepted in the document?

    I'm surprised you are getting this message at this point. I'm going to assume
    that you were not editing the document in Editor. If you edit your document in
    Editor, it won't let you make those invalid changes. It stops you at the time
    you are trying to make the change.

    The message indicates that you are attempting to change something in a position
    that either does not allow a change tag or does not have change attributes. In
    these cases, it is impossible for the application to track the change. What you
    need to do in that situation is make the change in a different way. So, for
    example, instead of changing content, you may need to delete the entire element
    and re-insert it. Or, instead of deleting an entire table row, you may need to
    only delete the content of each cell. There are ways to work around all of the
    situations as you come to them.

    If you can determine what the change is that it isn't allowing, maybe we can
    give you some additional advice.
