Can the original author/owner of a comment be changed in a word document? If
so, how is this accomplished?

Thanks,

Hi John

No, you can't do this either from the user interface or in code.

However, in Word 2003 you can remove the name complete, and replace it with
"Author".

To do that, Tools Options Security. Tick the box "Remove personal
information from file properties on save." In spite of the name, this does
more than just remove information in the file properties. If this box is
ticked, Word removes the name of the author of a tracked change, and it
removes the date and time that the change was made when you save your
document. But it leaves the tracked change itself. All tracked changes and
comments will be now attributed to an anonymous "Author".

For more information on track changes see

Hope this helps.
