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

[Trung Vu]

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.

That's amazing. Same to another guy above, I created this account just to thank you, gmaxey, for your solution and sharing. You saved me hours of work and from failing my client's deadline.
