His editorship has been noted for its supportive stance toward the church in contrast to journals such as Spectrum that began to give a more critical perception of the church. His last issue as editor was November 25, 1982.
It was under his editorship that the name of the Review and Herald changed to the Adventist Review. It was also under his editorship that the Review expanded from one edition in English to nine editions in four languages. Ten associate editors served with Wood: F. Donald Yost, Don F. Neufeld, Herbert E. Douglass, Thomas A. Davis, Joseph J. Battistone, Raymond F. Cottrell, Jack J. Blanco, Leo R. Van Dolson, William G. Johnsson, and George W. Reid. A significant development was the appointment of two women to the editorial staff: Jocelyn R. Fay (appointed in 1977) and Aileen Andres Sox (appointed in 1980).
