Selectively Removing "Edited By" Reference

Well, the first and easiest way is to use Word's Compare Documents feature and then no one gets credit for revisions.  It simply shows the revisions.

Rosesolutions1 - thank you... will test this code tonight and get back to you...

Rosesolutions - Ok, it kind of works... but when I run the code it strikes out the original revision and enters another revision with the new revisor's name ... any way to avoid ? I tried this with Word 2002.

Also, since this customer may need to change the original revisor and specify the desired revisor, I need to pop up inputboxes to prompt for both. I've figured out the original revisor part... but not the desired revisor part (per below), any suggestions?

Sub Change_Author()
'
' Change_Author Macro
'

Dim intMode As Integer
intMode = ActiveWindow.View.RevisionsMode 'remember current mode so we can restore it at the end
ActiveWindow.View.RevisionsMode = wdInLineRevisions 'operate without the balloons confusing things
Dim rvsn As Revision
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = True

Dim x As Integer
Original_Author = InputBox("Enter exact name for current revisor", "Current Revisor")

For x = ActiveDocument.Revisions.Count To 1 Step -1 'for each can endless loop because we are creating new revisions inside the loop...
    Set rvsn = ActiveDocument.Revisions(x)
    If rvsn.Author = Original_Author Then
        Select Case rvsn.Type
            Case wdNoRevision
            Case wdRevisionDelete
                rvsn.Range.Select
                'if it was a deletion, reject the change, which leaves the deletion highlighted
                rvsn.Reject
                'and then delete it again
                Selection.Delete
            Case wdRevisionInsert
                rvsn.Range.Select
                'cut it out - which automatically cancels the revision stuff
                Selection.Cut
                'and paste it back
                Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
            Case wdRevisionParagraphProperty
            Case wdRevisionReconcile
            Case wdRevisionSectionProperty
            Case wdRevisionStyleDefinition
            Case wdRevisionConflict
            Case wdRevisionDisplayField
            Case wdRevisionParagraphNumber
            Case wdRevisionProperty
            Case wdRevisionReplace
            Case wdRevisionStyle
            Case wdRevisionTableProperty
            Case Else
                MsgBox "huh?"
        End Select
    End If
Next

Set rvsn = Nothing
ActiveWindow.View.RevisionsMode = intMode 'back the way it was
End Sub

Sorry, no - author is a read-only field, and there is no practical way to fake it. [In Word 2003 there should be - using WordML - but the file goes unreadable whenever I try - sob.]

My proposed 'solution' to your problem relies upon the idea that the person who wants to claim to be the author is in fact the person who pushes the button.

Rosesolutions,

In the end, your code is worth the points... I'll have to deal with the other issue some other way. Thank you for your efforts!
