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

If it’s turned on, it will look like this.

You’ll find what you are looking for under “ Document-Specific Settings” – it’s the option “ Remove personal information from file properties on save.”

The Trust Center should open on “ Privacy Options” (if not, select it).

In the “Trust Center” dialog box, click the “ Trust Center Settings” button.

In the “Options” box, select “ Trust Center” at the bottom of the left-hand menu.

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.
