In Word 2002 for Windows XP (and apparently in other newer versions of Word
as well), rolling the mouse over a Track Changes balloon turns up the name of the person who made the change or comment, along with the date and time the change or comment was made. Currently I can choose the privacy option "Remove personal information from file properties on save" and have my name replaced with the anonymous term "author" -- however, I cannot opt to remove the date and time. I believe that information about date and time is personal, too, and I feel strongly that I should have the option to take it out. Here is the situation: I am a freelance editor, and my clients would like me to make my changes using the Track Changes option instead of the old-fashioned way (on paper with a red pencil). I don't mind helping them out that way -- I'm all for going electronic whenever possible -- but I DO mind that the electronic document will suddenly provide them with information that was never available to them in the paper version: for example, that I often work late into the night, or that I often change my mind about a correction I have made and go back later to revise it. As long as I make my deadlines, my clients do not need to know when I made my changes and comments -- they only need to know that the changes and comments have been made. Please help...thanks! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
