Track Change identification

I have a document that several people have made track changes to.
I need to send this document to another person but don't want them to see who made the track changes.
so far i have made them all one colour but when you hover the mouse over the track changes you can read who made the change. Ie. Joe Bloggs deleted ........ on 23/12/11)
Is their any way you can make the 'Joe Bloggs' part disappear?
Thank you
Lauren

RE: Track Change identification

Hi Lauren

One way would be to save the document as a copy and remove all the tracking comments. Do this by clicking on the file menu (ball) and choose > Prepare > Inspect Document

Click on Inspect. It will indicate if it finds track changes and comments. At the top of the dialogue box, alongside the secion called Comments, Revisions, Versions and Annotation click the corresponding Removal All button and all changes will be accepted, comments and tracking history removed.

It is important to do this on a copy of your document as this cannot be undone once applied.

I hope this helps - let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Word tip:

Changing default folder location for opening and saving

If you are always opening documents from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the File Locations tab.

3. Under File Types, select Documents.

4. Use the Modify dialogue box that appears on your screen to navigate to the folder you wish to set as your default.

5. Select the folder, click OK, and click OK again.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving documents.
