make reviewer names anonymous

In Word for the PC, there is a way to make the reviewers names anonymous in track changes. You go to the "Document Inspector" and then change some settings. How can this be done on a Mac?

Basically, I have had some reviewers review some papers that I want to return to the original authors. When the reviewers did the track changes, they had their names noted, and I want all that personal identifying info removed so the reviewers remain anonymous. Can I do this on the Mac, or not?

Thanks.

Sure. In the main menu bar, select Word > Preferences > Security and check "Remove personal information..."

    BTW, your response made the hassle of registering for MS Live worthwhile. Thanks again.

    Brilliant. Thanks so much.

    [As an aside, I sure wish the "Help" was more helpful. I couldn't find how to do this using MS Word'08 help with any number of permutations of searches for "anonymous+reviewer+document inspector+track changes."
