How can I change EXISTING names/initials in comments in a documen.

[Guest]

In and existing document with comments from single or multiple reviewers, I
want to strip the names of the reviewers out of the comments and replace with
a generic title of "instructor."

I use Word 2003. But I work with other earlier versions as well.

THANKS!

You can do it with a macro:

Sub ZapCommentInitials()
Dim oCmt As Comment

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