How can I hide the identities of the reviewers after the fact?

[Je]

In a review cycle in Windows Word 2003, my client wants to hide the
identities of the reviewers now--after the reviews have been turned in using
the commnenting and tracking features of Word. Can that be done in Word 2003?
If not, does Word 2007 support anonymous reviews?

They also need a separate list of all the comments. Can that be extracted
out like it can in Acrobat?

Thanks!

In Word 2003, you can use "Remove personal information from file properties
on save" (Tools | Options | Security). This changes the name on all tracked
changes and comments to (I believe) "Author."

Thanks, Suzanne--

This completely answered one of my two questions. I didn't think it could be
done. I will ask the other question in a separate post.

The "Remove Hidden Data" plug-in is useful for removing editor names and
other metadata in the file.

Word 2007 has an "Inspect Document" feature under Office Button, "Prepare."
That feature searches for the same things as the Remove Hidden Data plug-in.
