The upgrade now requires Microsoft Office to run on 64bit.I read in many places that Microsoft has no intentions of supporting this upgrade so therefore, I can no longer safely use this software, that I purchased, on my mac.

If you prefer a bit more selective approach, you might try to use a macro. Using a macro it is not possible to change the date/time stamps Track Changes revisions, but it is possible to do so on comments. In practice, each time you cange a comment's text its date/time stamp is updated. With this behavior in mind, you can modify the content (and thereby modify the date/time) in order to mask the original date/time—for example, to a date/time that is just before when you provide the document to the student.

The following macro will re-write the text of comments thus changing their date/time stamps to the time that the macro was run. For good measure the macro also removes the author's initials.
