Default MS Word 2010 track changes

Hi there, new to the forum,

I have a MS word 2010 document with x amount of track changes under the name

sperrgepaeck, v0.1

I do not want to change the content of the track change, but the track change name into

sperrgepaeck, v1.0

This shall be done through the "Replace" functionality. I could easily manually change the Track Changes Name and then go through the document step b ystep, but thats very time consuming.

One way of using the "Replace" functionality with older MS Word version was:

Open the document in Word.
Go to View
Toolbars
Visual Basic
This opens a pop-up toolbar for Visual basic
Select the last icon on the right, labelled Microsoft Script Editor

Then I was able to change the Track Changes Name by "Replace".

This MS Script Editor is not available in 2010 anymore.

How can I change the Track Changes Name by using the "Replace" functionality for existing track changes in a MS word 2010 document.

Another option I thought is saving the MS 2010 into a *.rtf and then open the file through Notepad, but still it does not give me the track changes name.

Thanks for any suggestions
