Default Track changes -- "Author" as author

I'm having a problem with Track Changes in Wd 2003:

I sent a document to an editor, who sent it back to me with comments and
revisions. I can see these fine, but they are all marked as by "Author"
rather than by the editor's name. When I make my own changes to this revised
document, they show up as by me, and with my initials and name as author ...
until I save an reopen the document, when they revert to "Author" and become
indistinguishable from the editor's changes.

I was able to write a VBA macro that changes the author and initial of all
comments, but the author field for revisions is read-only.

Any ideas about what might be causing this and of how to fix it?

TIA,

Bruce Rusk
