[Jim Tortorelli]

Hi, all:



I have several large documents with this problem. If I make some changes
with "track changes" on, Word correctly shows the changes and associates
them with my name--both additions and deletions. I can add comments and they
show with my initials. (I am doing this in page view) So far, so good. Then
I hit save and Word removes my name and initials from all changes and
comments and replaces them with "Author" or "A." The same thing happens on
other peoples machines when they comment on these files.



I can start a new doc with my normal template and do not get this
response--only with these big documents.



Does anyone know what could be causing this? It is tough to make sense of
comments from multiple reviewers when they all say "Author."



Thanks,



Jim T

This is what happens if you have "Remove personal information from file
properties on save" checked on the Security tab of Tools | Options.
