Default Changing reviewer name for tracked changes/comments (Word 2003 for PC)

Hi,

I'm looking to change the Reviewer's Name on a Microsoft Word 2003 (PC)
document with tracked changes. I saw this discussion in the
microsoft.public.mac.office.word newsgroup, but it was from last summer
and I was unable to reply directly to the thread.

I would definitely appreciate some guidance on using VBA to do this!
Just an example of changing John W Smith to Jane Doe would be very
helpful.

In addition, I'd love to see some example code to change the time/date
stamp of the tracked changes.


Thanks!

Hi Helene:

You can't disable the date/time stamp, but you can change the Reviewer's
Name, using VBA. You could also set the date and time to something else
using the same method.

Later Word versions have a built-in function that "Removes
personally-identifiable information on save".

If you tell me what you want the reviewer's name to be, and what date and
time you want to use, I will see if I can find the code I have that does
this.

Cheers

Hello


Does anyone know how to disable the date/time stamp in the track changes
feature? Would also like to know how to change the reviewer's name.


I'm using Word for Mac 2001 and a MacOS 9.1 operating system.


With thanks for any leads and advice.


Helene

Thanks! That linked had exactly the right information! Actually, it
worked for comments, too.

Anybody have some scoop on changing the dates in tracked
changes/comments?

It is possible to use VBA to change the author's name in
comments, but I haven't seen it done in tracked changes. You can
manually change the tracked change author's name using the VB
Script Editor as described at
