Hi,

When I installed office, I gave it my full name and my initials during setup. Now, when I create new documents and send them out, people can use the Properties box of the file to see who the author was and who last saved it, etc.

How can I wipe out this information? I don't want it to know my identity anymore.

Thanks,
Richard
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
I think it comes from Excel options and not the registration.

Review the Tools, Options, General Tab. Change or delete your username there.
