Thumbs up Answer: How do I find out who last modified a Word Document?

Yes, there is a way to find out who last modified a Word document. Here are the steps:
  1. Open the Word document that you want to check.
  2. Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Click on "Info" in the left-hand menu.
  4. Click on "Show All Properties" at the bottom of the page.
  5. Scroll down to the "Last Modified By" section to see who last modified the document.
  6. If the "Last Modified By" section is blank, it means that the document has not been modified since it was created.

If you want to see a more detailed history of changes made to the document, you can use the "Track Changes" feature in Word. This will show you who made each change and when it was made. To use this feature, go to the "Review" tab in Word and click on "Track Changes." Once you turn on this feature, any changes made to the document will be highlighted and you can see who made each change by hovering over the highlighted text.

IF they have filled out the User Information screen, then their information
will be found on the Document Properties window. Open the document and go to
File - Properties and click on the Statistics tab.
