Multiple reviewers - one computer? Any idea how to do this?

[NeilW]

Hello everyone. I found an old thread from back in 2002 on this - but
I did not really see a resolution so I thought I would ask again and
see what may be new.

I have a compter at work running Word 2004 with multiple users. Each
user needs to edit a particular document and I want the reviewer marks
to reflect the different users.

Right now we have separate logins. However when the second person logs
in to his account, opens word and the document in question - any edits
that he makes are still designated as being my edits - my colour and
name are appended to them.

Any ideas? I cannot find anywhere in the menus to indicate a way to
change the user.

On a PC configured the same way we can do this - but not on our Mac.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil

Separate OS logins should give you separate reviewers--it does for me when I
login under a different account.

Change the User Information in Word | Preferences in one of the user
accounts.

Thanks Daiya,

That was it exactly - both accounts for some reason (ie I did not
change it) had the same user info.

Worked like a charm.

thanks again,

Neil

You're right to be surprised, I think. Word is doing this wrong. When a
different user starts up Word for the first time, Word should present an
opportunity (while it is dumping 80 MB of annoying fonts into the user's
Fonts folder, perhaps?) to provide a different username. m.

In Winword, it does so if it doesn't find a Normal.dot.
Haven't checken on the Mac...
