Is there a way to retain anominity when using tracking changes so that the
individuals initials are not provided in the comment box. Particularly important when using Word manuscripts in a blind review process where the reviewer does not wish to have their identity known to the author(s). . |

No way to prevent it at the outset, but if you choose to "Remove personal
information from file properties on save" (Tools | Options | Security), the comments and track will be identified generically. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Tom,
There are several ways to find out depending, in part on how you transmit the document, that you have touched it g. Assuming that isn't the issue then at the start, if you're in Word 2007 use Review=Track Changes=Change User Name and type a space or something like #17 in both the name and initial boxes. Also in Word 2007 you can use Office Button=Prepare=Inspect document before you send it out, uncheck the 'Comments, Revisions, Versions and Annotations' so your markup remains, but do check the Document Properties and Personal Information (unless the use of Document Properties is needed in the continued composition of the document). When you close the file after inspection and reopen it the reviewer name and initials should be replaced by a more generic coding. If you're in Word 2003 you can get the same results by 1. Change the name/initials in Tools=Options=User Info 2. In Tools=Options=Security=Privacy turn on the 'Remove Personal Information...' choice then save close and reopen the document ============== "Tom" wrote in message ...
