The first of these is the displayed author's name for the comment and the second is the initials for the author. The idea, though, is that you want to search for two recurring XML entries in the file: Your comments.xml file will, of course, look different than mine. This opens the comments.xml file in Notepad. Once copied to the desktop, I just need to right-click on the file and choose Open With | Notepad.

I cannot do it within the Zip file, so I need to drag it from the folder to my desktop. What I want to do is to edit the comments.xml file.
This file contains the XML coding necessary to display all the comments in the document. You want to open the word folder, and you should see within that a file named comments.xml. The Zip files contain lots of XML files and other proprietary information that defines how the document should be put together. Important side note: Office files these days (including Word documents) are nothing but Zip files by a different name.

Once changed, all I then need to do is double-click on the renamed document, and Windows opens the document so I can see what is within it. (If you cannot see filename extensions on your system, you might want to display them.) The only thing I'm doing is changing the filename extension. Currently it is Testing2.docx, and I'm going to change it to Testing2.zip. In the case of my testing document, I have it on my desktop, and I want to change its name. My first step is to get out of Word entirely. Word provides no mechanism to make such a change. It is this generic name that Dola wants to change. My testing document after a pass through the Document Inspector. Upon doing so, the authorship of the comments is "genericized," meaning that my name is expunged and the generic "Author" replaces my name. (This is apparently what Dola does, as well.) After doing so, I click Close to dismiss the Document Inspector, return to the document, save it, and then reopen the document. Normally, what I do is to click Remove All button for the second option, Document Properties and Personal Information. In the case of my testing document, the Document Inspector noted that there were some things that could be removed to make the document more anonymous. I typically leave all the check boxes selected, then click the Inspect button. Word displays the Document Inspector dialog box. If you're using Word 2010 or a later version, display the File tab of the ribbon, click on Check for Issues, and then select Inspect Document from the drop-down menu. If you're using Word 2007, display the Document Inspector by clicking the Office button, Prepare, and then Inspect Document. My testing document with some comments visible in Word in Office 365.Īfter saving the document, I'm ready to start by using the Document Inspector. The image above shows a document created with my Word 2016 version and the image below shows a document created with my Word in Office 365 version. There may be a difference in how the comments appear in your document depending on which version of Word you are using. My testing document with some comments visible. You'll note that the comments include information that show me as their author. I put some boilerplate text in the document, and I added a few comments to it. I'm going to start by creating a testing document. With that in mind, let's take a long and winding road. That being said, there is a much more difficult way to do this (provided you are working with a DOCX file) which may be worth doing if you don't have to do it often and if it is critical that it be done. There is no easy way to do this we could not find any setting within Word that makes this happen. This causes Word to change the name associated with comments to the generic name "Author." She wonders if there is a way to make the Document Inspector change it to something else, such as "Editor." In order to prepare a document for sharing with others, Dola often uses the Document Inspector to delete personal information from a file.
