    Changing the User Name in "Track Changes" for Existing Formatting Changes

    Hello all, I'm new to VBA and inexperienced with code in general, and I was hoping someone could help me with a question. I'm collaborating on editing a document with multiple users, all of whom are making comments and formatting changes, and we want to present our edits to the author under a single name. I recently used code I found online (by Allen Wyatt, which I would link to if I were not newly registered here) to run a macro that efficiently replaced all of the user names for comments with a single name, which was incredibly helpful.

    However, it didn't replace the user name of those who had made formatting changes, as can be seen in this screenshot, where I ran the code to replace the user name of those writing comments with "Test Author."

    Does anyone know how I might modify the code in order to replace the user name of those making formatting changes as well? Here is the code:
    Sub ChangeCommentAuthor()
        Dim J As Integer
        Dim sAuthorname As String
        Dim sInitial As String
    
        If Selection.Comments.Count = 0 Then
            MsgBox "No comments in your selection!", _
              vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "Cannot perform action"
            Exit Sub
        End If
    
        sAuthorname = InputBox("New author name?", _
          "Comments Author Name")
        If sAuthorname = "" Then End
    
        sInitial = InputBox("New author initials?", _
          "Comments Initials")
        If sInitial = "" Then End
    
        With Selection
            For J = 1 To .Comments.Count
                .Comments(J).Author = sAuthorname
                .Comments(J).Initial = sInitial
            Next J
        End With
    End Sub
    Thank you very much in advance for any assistance!
