Re-Author tracked changes in word
Is there a way to re-author tracked changes in word? I know it automatically picks up on the user name set in options, but once the changes have already been made, is there a way to change who the author of the comment/markup is?
fig 8 Use Tools > Options > User Information to change the "author" name

Err, I know all that. I probably wasn't clear (or missed my answer in that link).
What I need to do is re-author the tracked changes that were already made. Someone was sitting at a computer that wasn't theirs and made changes and tracked them. Is there a an omnibus way to reassign all those changes to another user name?

Changing the user name is not retro-active... all the changes made perviously will remain associated with the prior user name. I need to change PREVIOUS comments.
