Word (2010) Comments Authors Vanished
A 2010 Word file was edited by multiple people. Each comment entered has the respective initials to identify the author. Now when I enter a comment, my initials appear until I save and close the document. When reopened, all the comments are there, but no initials. Does anyone know what would have happened? |

Make sure the problem document is the active document. Click File tab | Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Privacy Options. Clear "Remove personal information from file properties on save." Click OK twice.
"Remove personal information..." will be selected for a document after you have used the Document Inspector.

Is there any way to get the previous edits/comment authors back?

Unfortunately not. The Document Inspector has deleted that information.
