Ok many thanks. I think I'm out of my depth and probably didn't explain that in my previous post!

Essentially, by using the inspection tool in Word I can eliminate the actual time for amendments and it will now show that it was me who made an amendment and the day that I made it. However, it would be good to eliminate the day too, so that there is no date stamp at all.

I have no experience of amending XML files, so I may just be stuck with the status that I have got to?!
