Display the final proposed text in Tracked Change without accepting the change - vba

Question

I am trying to write a Macro that can display the final proposed text in a tracked change without having to accept the change.
Current code (modified from thedoctools.com) is as follows which uses a Revision object only for Delete and Insert types:
Public Sub ExtractAllRevisionsToExcel()
Dim oDoc As Document
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim oNewExcel As Worksheet
Dim oRange As Range
Dim oRevision As Revision
Dim strText As String
Dim index As Long
Dim Title As String
Title = "Extract All revisions to Excel"
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
If ActiveDocument.Revisions.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "The active document contains no changes.", vbOKOnly, Title
GoTo ExitHere
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'Create a new excel for the revisions
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWB = xlApp.Workbooks.Add 'create a new workbook
Set oNewExcel = xlWB.Worksheets(1)
With oNewExcel
.Cells(1, 1).Formula = "Document"
.Cells(1, 2).Formula = "Page"
.Cells(1, 3).Formula = "line number"
.Cells(1, 4).Formula = "Original Statement"
.Cells(1, 5).Formula = "Statement Proposed"
index = 1
'Get info from each tracked change (insertion/deletion) from oDoc and insert in table
For Each oRevision In oDoc.Revisions
Select Case oRevision.Type
'Only include insertions and deletions
Case wdRevisionInsert, wdRevisionDelete
'In case of footnote/endnote references (appear as Chr(2)),
'insert "[footnote reference]"/"[endnote reference]"
With oRevision
'Get the changed text
strText = .Range.Text
Set oRange = .Range
Do While InStr(1, oRange.Text, Chr(2)) > 0
'Find each Chr(2) in strText and replace by appropriate text
i = InStr(1, strText, Chr(2))
If oRange.Footnotes.Count = 1 Then
strText = Replace(Expression:=strText, _
Find:=Chr(2), Replace:="[footnote reference]", _
Start:=1, Count:=1)
'To keep track of replace, adjust oRange to start after i
oRange.Start = oRange.Start + i
ElseIf oRange.Endnotes.Count = 1 Then
strText = Replace(Expression:=strText, _
Find:=Chr(2), Replace:="[endnote reference]", _
Start:=1, Count:=1)
'To keep track of replace, adjust oRange to start after i
oRange.Start = oRange.Start + i
End If
Loop
End With
index = index + 1 'Add 1 to row
'Insert data in cells in row
'The document name
.Cells(index, 1).Formula = oDoc.FullName & vbCr
'Page number
.Cells(index, 2).Formula = oRevision.Range.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
'Line number - start of revision
.Cells(index, 3).Formula = oRevision.Range.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber)
'Original section text
.Cells(index, 4).Formula = oRevision.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text
'Proposed changes - THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO SEE THE PREVIEW OF THE FINAL SECTION AFTER CHANGE IS ACCEPTED
If oRevision.Type = wdRevisionInsert Then
.Cells(index, 5).Formula = strText
'Apply automatic color (black on white)
.Cells(index, 5).Font.Color = wdColorBlue
Else
.Cells(index, 5).Formula = strText
'Apply red color
.Cells(index, 5).Font.Color = wdColorRed
End If
End Select
Next oRevision
End With
'Repaginate
ActiveDocument.Repaginate
'Toggle nonprinting characters twice
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = Not _
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = Not _
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.ScreenRefresh
oNewExcel.Activate
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Revisions.Count & " changes found. Finished creating the worksheet.", vbOKOnly, Title
ExitHere:
Set oDoc = Nothing
Set xlWB = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
Set oNewExcel = Nothing
Set oRange = Nothing
End Sub
The variable strText returns only the portion we are changing in oRevision.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text, however I want a variable that returns the final text in oRevision.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text AFTER the change has already been accepted, but without accepting the change in the actual Word document.
Is there a way to get such a variable as I just want to have a preview of the final section after the change is accepted, without accepting the change.

Even Word's macro recorder can give you the code for that:
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowRevisionsAndComments = False
.RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal
End With
