Hi,

I had installed Office 2000 on a PC X belonging to X. Now the PC belongs to Y. I reinstalled Office 2000. But still Word, Excel, Powerpoint shows its respective documents to be authored by X. How do I change this ?

Thanks

Rgds

You can't. They will always have been written by X. OPen them up and SAVE AS the same name and overwrite the current document is the only way around this dude.

In each application try going to File>Properties click on the Summary tab and under "Author" change the name to the new author.

You can change the Registered User in the Registry. Go this Key and change the value on the right under RegisteredUser.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
