At this point, your letter should look something something like this (Note: The markup color may. In the third paragraph, select the words Thank you and insert a comment that says Put this on the same line as Quality Furnishings. Change the font of the letter to Cambria, 12 pt.

If the checkbox and option is turned off and grayed out like in the image below, you will have to do one thing before you can turn it on, you need to first run Document Inspector by pressing the button on this screen and manually remove all metadata under “Comments, Revisions, Versions and Annotations.” (You can run Document Inspector at any time to manually remove metadata from a Word document.).Your redlines should now stay as-is when you save the document.

To turn it off, uncheck the box, click “ OK,” and close Word Options.

To turn on or off the removal of personal information from a document upon save in Office 2010 or 2013, follow these steps: This is a document setting, not a global setting, so changing it for a given document changes it for that document only. If your redlines are changing to “Author” on save, it’s because this option is turned on in your document. If this option is selected, metadata (including names of redline owners) is stripped out of the document when it is saved. Word includes an option in the Trust Center which lets you remove all personal information from a document upon save. On the flip side, there are times you may want to remove all of the personal information in a document regarding authors (e.g., when releasing a policy or document that had multiple authors, and you don’t want to show who worked on what parts).

(I’ve had situations where my business team commented on a draft assuming the “Author” redlines in an agreement were my redlines, when they were really from the other side.) This author information for redlines is one example of the “metadata” that Microsoft Word saves with your document. There’s nothing more frustrating than redlining a document only to find your edits changed to Author the second you save your draft. You’ve probably noticed that in certain documents, as soon as you click “Save” all of your Word redlines change color and switch from your name to “Author.” If you’re like me, when negotiating or commenting up a document with others I prefer to “layer” redlines in different colors so everyone knows whose comments and redlines are whose. This can help avoid confusion and keep the negotiation process running as efficiently as possible.
