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

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
I think it comes from Excel options and not the registration.

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