Introducing AnonymizeReviewer: Remove Author Metadata from Word Docs Without Losing Edits
When you’re collaborating on a Microsoft Word document, tracked changes and comments are essential tools. However, when it's time to share those files outside your team, another concern often arises: the names behind every comment and edit are embedded directly within the document.
There are times when anonymity is important. Whether you’re simplifying client reviews, preparing materials for a broader audience, or just removing unnecessary distractions, Word doesn't make it easy to cleanly strip names without accepting all changes or removing valuable context.
To solve that problem, I created AnonymizeReviewer, a lightweight Python script that lets you anonymize Word files while preserving everything that matters.
How to Generate a Page for Each Day of Month in Microsoft Word using VBA
I briefly joined my wife at her practice to help her grow the business and figure out how to make things more efficient. One of the things I learned is that my wife created a sign-in sheet for the office in Microsoft Word. Every week she would open the file and manually enter the date for each day of the week and then print out the documents. I took over the responsibility for a month and it annoyed me due to how inefficient the process was and I decided to automate the entire thing. I couldn't find a solution to the problem online so I had to roll my own and am sharing the code in case someone else can benefit from it.
