In the same folder as the document, you should find a file with the same name except that the first two characters are replaced by ~$. Open that file in NotePad to see the name of the person who opened the document. This will be whatever they have typed into the Tools Options User Information dialog, so it might not be their real name. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
