To change the author name for a specific Word document, open up the document in Word, go to File menu > Properties > Summary tab. You can change the Author name there.To change the author name for all new Word documents, you can change the user information in the Word document template.

If there is a specific template you use, open that up. If you want to change the document globally for all new blank documents, the default template is “Normal.dot”(search your hard drive where this file is kept).

• Open the .dot template
• Then go to Tools menu > Options > User Information tab.
• Change the “Name” and “Initials” there and save the template.

The next time you create a new document with this template, it will use those settings. Hope this helps, please rate the article.
