This is too cool!
Needed to review a ms's reviewer's name/initials from a Word file. A search led me to http://cybertext.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/word-removing-reviewer-names/ where I found a solution.
In my case, I tried using a standard text editor (from Linux: gedit) to edit the zipped document(s), but for some reason that corrupted the file and Word wouldn't recognize it any more.
Next I tried completely unzipping the files and editing them on OS X. Again, problems opening the docx after I rezipped the file.
Finally, I opened MacVim, dragged the zip file onto it, and was able to browse the archived files in MV. I did a couple quick substitutions as per the directions above, and then saved and quit. Upon reopening the Word file, all looks perfect!
Neat to see how some rather technical skills can solve significant acquisitions/publishing issues!
