How do I remove Reviewers from MS Word 2002 doc?
I created a document in MS Word 2002 without Track Changes, then took
cuts from an older document and pasted them into my document. Now when I look at Reviewers in my document it contains the name of the person who edited the older document (who is not a member of our company). Is there a way to remove that reviewer's name? |

How do I remove Reviewers from MS Word 2002 doc?
Hi Katiegirl,
I created a document in MS Word 2002 without Track Changes, then took cuts from an older document and pasted them into my document. Now when I look at Reviewers in my document it contains the name of the person who edited the older document (who is not a member of our company). Is there a way to remove that reviewer's name? Word 2003 contains an option that will let you remove all "personal" information from a document. I think, for Word 2002, you had to download a tool from Microsoft to do this, but I can't remember for sure. The only other possibility would be to save it as HTML, open it as "plain text", then do a search on the name. You should then be able to delete it, open the document and save it again as a normal Word document. (Keep the original, of course, in case something goes wrong.) Hmmm. You could also try copying everything but the last paragraph mark into a new document. That might leave the Reviewer information out, if Track Changes is OFF and no changes are recorded in the document.

Cindy --
Thanks for your response. I have tried the options you mention, plus several others found in other locations on the internet. Unfortunately, none have worked. Have you yourself tried to remove "Reviewers" in WORD 2003? We may consider upgrading if we knew it would work in that version. Thanks, Katiegirl |

Cindy -- I forgot to mention that we have the "Remove Hidden Data"
program installed, and that doesn't remove the Reviewers, either. Katiegirl |

Hi Katiegirl,
Have you yourself tried to remove "Reviewers" in WORD 2003? We may consider upgrading if we knew it would work in that version. Yes, if I activate the "Remove personal information" option in Tools/Options/Security, all the names are removed and replaced with the term "Author". Also, I can save a Word document as XML and process the XML (with Notepad, if necessary) to remove any names. You might find someone with word 2003 and see if what it does is acceptable, before investing in upgrading one or more machines...

Cindy -- Thanks so much for your help. With some figuring, and also
activating "Remove personal information," then saving the doc and closing out of WORD, opening WORD and the doc again, I also managed to remove the reviewers (except "Author" which is fine). I really appreciate your taking the time to respond on this one. Katiegirl |
