Default Tracking Changes

No way to prevent it at the outset, but if you choose to "Remove personal
information from file properties on save" (Tools | Options | Security), the
comments and track will be identified generically.

Is there a way to retain anominity when using tracking changes so that the
individuals initials are not provided in the comment box. Particularly
important when using Word manuscripts in a blind review process where the
reviewer does not wish to have their identity known to the author(s). .
