Hello,
After searching the forum and not finding the information, I am reaching out to you. I need to anonymize comments made in a file, in Word, for Mac 2011 (Version 14.3.5.).
In the context of my work, I have many files to evaluate and annotate... it would save me precious time to be able to anonymize the comments!
HELP!
(I would like to specify that I tried to use the "Office Button," "Inspect," as recommended to others on the forum, but I couldn't find it...)
Thank you in advance for your valuable response!

"Office button", "Inspect", these are indications corresponding to versions for Windows...
Let's talk Mac! ;-) Curiously, the name of a comment's author is read-only in Word's Visual Basic, but it can be modified by AppleScript. So we can run a small loop to clean up a document:
Note: you need to put at least one space between the quotation marks. If you put nothing, the comment will be deleted.
P.S.: your version of Office 2011 should be at 14.7.7 for a long time now (that's the "final" version, released in September 2017!)

tell application "Microsoft Word"
set author of every Word comment in document "/Users/shortname/Desktop/Document1.docx" to " "
end tell

I looked everywhere in the Word preferences but couldn't find it.
I'm using version 16.33.
Could you please tell me how to proceed?
