When tracking changes is enabled the balloons appear with the edits. Is
there a way to show the name of the user who entered the edit in the balloon,
without the need to mouse-over the balloon? If so, where can I find the menu
option to enable this feature?

Dave, Sorry, can't help you, but I do have a related question. Although I
used to be able to see the name of the person who entered track changes using
the mouse-over technique, this no longer works. I can't find any option in
the customized settings that turns this off or on and the only thing that has
changed on my system is that I started using a new mouse (possibly about the
same time that this change occurred, though I can't be sure).

Any suggestions from anyone?

You can set the balloons set to show author/time/date via Tools | Options |
Track Changes, "include author, time stamp, and action buttons".

If this is already checked, but (as on my machine), the name is too long to
show fully--sorry, no other ideas.

Make sure Screen Tips is checked in Tools | Options | View. The mouse-over
comment is just a part of the many screentips in Word.

If that doesn't do it, be sure to state version of Word and OS and whether
ScreenTips are showing up elsewhere in Word.

I am using Word 2002. When I run the cursor over an insertion or deletion I
have made, the author (i.e., myself) shows up as "unknown." The "user
information" is complete in Tools-Options. Any suggestions?

Do you have "Remove personal information..." checked on the Security tab of
Tools | Options?
