Sending Comments without the Reviewer's Name
When using track changes in Word 2002, how do I send a marked up manuscript
that retains the comments without showing the name of the reviewer? I would like to protect the reviewer's anonymity but send the comments to the author. |

No way to do this, unfortunately, unless the reviewer has added the comments
anonymously to begin with (by removing the User Name from Tools | Options | User Information). -- Suzanne S.

Hi, Louann. You can delete the comment authors' names by running the
following macro: Sub ZapCommentInitials() Dim oCmt As Comment For Each oCmt In ActiveDocument.Comments oCmt.Initial = "" oCmt.Author = "" Next oCmt End Sub If you don't know how to install a macro, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm .

Sending Comments without the Reviewer's Name
Thank you for that, garfield-n-odie. That's something I'd been looking for,
for quite a while now. Got another request. Would you consider writing another macro that one could maybe use for signaling or sending a short message to the DeskTop of another home Network computer on the LAN? Preferably one with bells & whistles that flashes and dings on the target DeskTop and/or Taskbar when message arrives. No harm in asking, is there? With hope in my heart... -- Ted...

Sending Comments without the Reviewer's Name
What exactly do comments do and how do I use them?

Sending Comments without the Reviewer's Name
Word's Help file has a number of articles about comments. You can use a
comment (Insert | Comment in Word 2003 and earlier) to make a note on a document in much the same way that you would add a handwritten note (or Post-it) to a printed one. This can be a note to yourself or to someone else who will read the document. It can be removed by right-clicking and choosing Delete Comment. In Word 2002 and above, comments are by default displayed in marginal "balloons." -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Comicmass" wrote in message ...
