Applying new Style to all docs

I have Office 2003. I changed the Style so comment
references dont appear in all new docs. This works fine
as no initials appear after comments I insert now.

However all my documents made in office 2000 display the
comment initials. The style I applied does not seem to
work with pre-existing documents.

How do I fix this so no initials appear on any comments I
insert?

Thanks in advance. Jeremy

Well, the "simple" way is to go over Tools/Template and
Addins/Organizer, and use the "Styles" tab. Select the style
name from "Normal.dot" (I'm assuming that's where you
changed it) and then click "Copy" to copy it over to the
current document.

A bit fancier would be a macro to do the same, or to simply
change this one property. If you'd like that, try recording
the steps to make the change in a macro.

I did the following as per Newsgroup information (see
below) however it only removes initials from NEW
documents I create. When I open an older document made in
Word 2000 and insert a comment - the initials appear. How
can I stop this as I have 100's of older documents I
continue to use and forward?

Thanks.

- click the "AA" button at the very left of the
Formatting toolbar
- At the bottom of the Styles and Formatting task
pane, choose
"Custom" from the drop down list
- Click the button "Styles"
- Find "Comment Reference" in the list
- Click "Modify"
- Click "Format" and choose "Font"
- activate the "Hidden" checkbox. OK.
- click "Add to template" if you want this in new
documents. OK.
close.
