    Unfortunately unlike the comments author property, the revision author property is read only and cannot be changed with VBA. What you can do is 1. SAVE a copy of the document. 2. Change the document extension from .docx to .zip. Then use a compression utility e.g., WinZip to unzip the file. 3. Open the word folder 4. Open the document.xml file then find and replace the revision editors. A revision editor will look something like this:

    [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Maxey/AppData/Local/Temp/SNAGHTMLa188c9a.PNG[/IMG]
    5. Save the document.xml file then copy the word folder back to the zip file. 6. Change the .zip extension back to .docx.
