How can I change the Author of comments in MS Word for Mac?

Question

Is it possible to change or hide the name of the author of comments on a document? I have hundreds of documents where I have written dozens of comments, now my boss wants me to change the commenter name from me to him. Is this possible or do I have to copy paste all comments manually as him?
