Note that merely deleting the user name and initials in the dialog box will not work you must use a space or a new word/name. Just display the General options (in the Word Options dialog box) and then replace the user's name and initials with a space or some nondescript wording, such as "Referee 1." Any changes from that point on will then bear that name, and anonymity will be preserved. It is possible, of course, to tell the referees to make a change or two to Word prior to making any changes in an article being reviewed. If the original article author got the article back, all that would be necessary would be to hover the mouse pointer over a change or comment, and the name of the referee would be visible. The problem is that Word, as part of the Track Changes feature, also tracks the name of the person who made a particular change. As reviewers (called referees) are reviewing articles, they keep Track Changes turned on so that modifications and comments stand out in the document.
