In the prior version of Word, there was a checkbox toggle (under
Tools/Options/Security (I think)) that said "remove personal info on saving
documents." When that box was checked, all comments and revision marks in
the document would be sanitized and changed to "Author" without a timestamp.

In Word 2007, there seems to be comparable functionality in the
"Prepare"/"Inspect Documents"/"Document Properties and Personal Information"
feature, *BUT* after sanitizing the document one time, I can't figure out how
to toggle the feature "off" so that future comments/revision marks DO keep
the metadata associated with them.

The usage scenario is having the comments tracked by individual author
during a subset of the review cycle, then all of the comments harmonized into
one "Author" set of changes, and then the cycle is repeated within the subset
first again.

Thanks!
