Setting your author name for track changes
When Andri creates Word documents with track changes, you can control which name appears as the author. This is important when continuing edits in Word—if the names don't match, Word will show your changes in a different color.
Specify your author name in the prompt
Tell Andri which name to use when requesting track changes:
"Make these edits with track changes from the name John Smith"Or when requesting comments:
"Add comments on legal risks from the name J. Smith"Use the exact name that appears in your Word settings to ensure your edits appear under the same author when you continue working in Word.
Set a default author name
To avoid specifying your name every time, tell Andri to remember it:
"Remember ALWAYS that I want to be named [your exact name] as author in track changes and comments when creating Word documents."Andri will use this name for all future documents with track changes.
This preference is saved to your profile. You only need to set it once.
