Changing the document author
When creating a new document, Word 2007 sets the Author property based on the User name setting that appears in the Word Options dialog box. The User name setting also provides the name and initials that are displayed in comments and tracked changes.
In new documents, the name that appears as the Author property (visible in the Document Information Panel) comes from the User name box in the Word Options dialog box.
