Track Changes Question

[Me]

Is there a way in Word 2003 to keep track changes on, but not have the name
or ID of the document reviewer(s) be shown in the Reviewers list?

Thank you.

 

[Harvey]

Yes. Tools\Options\ Security tab check "Remove personal information from
file properties on save" , this will change all the reviewers name to author.

 

[George]

My security tab as noted below is not checked, yet anytime I save, all
changes revert to "author". Any suggestions as to how to stop Word from
doing this?

 

[Beth Melton]

The option is document specific. Did you check to see if it's selected when
a document that exhibits the behavior is open (and active)?

Thanks Beth, it was checked in the doc. Now that I know it is doc specific,
I'll be able to manage it.

Best regards,
