Default track changes reviewer identity

Ah, so it was you who tracked this down! Sorry for the misattribution.

No, I think you're thinking of the case where a totally unknown person

was
listed as one of the reviewers (though none of the markup was actually
attributed to that reviewer. Beth Melton tracked it down to a specific
add-in--I forget which one.

We've had reports in the past that changes were identified as being
made by someone completely unknown to the only person who had ever
edited the document. I don't think we ever traced the cause of that
one. "Gremlins", maybe.

Is it possible for track changes to mis-identify who has made what
insertions
or changes? If people are using different versions of word could

that
happen? When I cursor over an insertion (in my home, on my

computer)
the
author is identified as someone other than the person who claims to

have
made
the changes (in his home, on his computer). Is that possible? Any

help
is
really appreciated!
