Toggle "remove personal information" in Word 2007
In the prior version of Word, there was a checkbox toggle (under
Tools/Options/Security (I think)) that said "remove personal info on saving documents." When that box was checked, all comments and revision marks in the document would be sanitized and changed to "Author" without a timestamp. In Word 2007, there seems to be comparable functionality in the "Prepare"/"Inspect Documents"/"Document Properties and Personal Information" feature, *BUT* after sanitizing the document one time, I can't figure out how to toggle the feature "off" so that future comments/revision marks DO keep the metadata associated with them. The usage scenario is having the comments tracked by individual author during a subset of the review cycle, then all of the comments harmonized into one "Author" set of changes, and then the cycle is repeated within the subset first again. Thanks! |

Toggle "remove personal information" in Word 2007
Hi ?B?Y2hyaXMxOTcw?=,
Yes, this seems to be the case. However, it looks like you can change the setting using a macro: Sub AllowSaveOfPersonalInfo() Activedocument.RemovePersonalInformation = False End Sub In the prior version of Word, there was a checkbox toggle (under Tools/Options/Security (I think)) that said "remove personal info on saving documents." When that box was checked, all comments and revision marks in the document would be sanitized and changed to "Author" without a timestamp. In Word 2007, there seems to be comparable functionality in the "Prepare"/"Inspect Documents"/"Document Properties and Personal Information" feature, *BUT* after sanitizing the document one time, I can't figure out how to toggle the feature "off" so that future comments/revision marks DO keep the metadata associated with them. The usage scenario is having the comments tracked by individual author during a subset of the review cycle, then all of the comments harmonized into one "Author" set of changes, and then the cycle is repeated within the subset first again.
