Remove date/time stamp in Track Changes?
Hi, everyone --
I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2007, and I'd like to be able to make changes in Track Changes without the date and time showing up. I don't mind if the recipient knows that I'm the author of the change or comment, but I'd like the date and time when I made the change or comment to remain my private business. Is there any way to make that change? Thanks! |

How to Remove Date and Time Stamp in Track Changes
Now, when you make changes or comments in Track Changes, the date and time stamp will not appear. However, the author name will still be visible.

After inspecting the document, when the results panel shows up, click the button to remove all "Document Properties and Personal Information". Then save the document. The dates and times will be removed from all tracked changes, and the reviewer name will be changed to "Author". This won't do if you're using custom document properties, because those would be removed at the same time. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

OK, so that works...but it does seem a bit extreme. As I said, I don't mind
if my name is attached to my comments. Isn't there any other way to eliminate date and time from the information that's automatically encoded when I make a comment?

No, if there was another way I would have told you. That's what's available.
