How to keep author name in track changes after saving file in Word
I want to be able to filter changes by reviewer, but once the file is saved,
the names of all reviewers change to "Author." When I make an edit to the file, the Author info is shown in a balloon. But when I save and then change the user name, I can't see the first name used, it only says author and no time or date reference. Since color isn't static for the users, I need some way to distinguish between John's edits and Bob's edits on the same page. Appreciate any help. TIA, Joanne |

Note that this is a document-specific setting. I'm not sure whether it can
be set in a template or not, but if you observe the same issue in other documents based on the same template, you might check the template setting. -- Suzanne S.
