Comments - remove initial

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I have Office 2003.
I insert a comment but my initials and a number are next
to every comment I insert.
I need to remove my initials and numbers from displaying
in my documents when inserting comments.

How do I do this please.

Thanks.

Hi Jodie

You can't really prevent the initials from showing up when you create
a new comment. If you blank the Initials box in Tools > Options > User
Information, Word will "helpfully" extract the initials from the entry
in the Name box; if you blank both boxes, it will use your login name.
:-(

To remove the initials afterward, as well as the name in the tooltip
that appears when you mouse over the balloons, run this macro. You can
run it as often as necessary to keep the document "clean". For
instructions, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Sub ZapCommentInitials()
Dim oCmt As Comment

For Each oCmt In ActiveDocument.Comments
oCmt.Initial = ""
oCmt.Author = ""
Next oCmt
End Sub
