Does the document contain a field which sets the author name and
title? For example, a field such as { AUTHOR "David Stenn" } would
change the "Author" entry of the FileProperties dialog box to "David
Stenn".

Here's how to find out: With the problem document open, click ALT+F9.
Word displays field codes. Can you see one or more fields similar to
the one in my example above? If you can, simply remove the text,
including the quotation marks around it. (Of course, you can remove
the entire field, if you wish, but then the data will no longer
display in the document.)

When all of the above fields (if any) have been modified, press ALT+F9
again to hide field codes. Select the entire document and press F9 to
update field display.

Now you should be able to change the name and title of the document by
using the following procedu On the File menu, click Properties.
Click the Summary tab. Enter the correct information, and then click
OK. Save the file.

The above must be made on a document-by-document basis. If documents
were created from a template (as opposed to using FileSave As with an
existing document), you should modify the template as well.

Everytime i try to save a doc in Word, the same author name and same
title of
the doc are the used. this occurs for every file being saved in
Word. This is
a problem because the name is not me. i think maybe because the
first word
doc that i opened was from the person whose name is appearing as the
author.

I go in under properties and change each file after saving it
originally but
then if i edit the file at a later time and click save, the author
and title
of the doc revert back to the original wrong ones.

I have tried to fix this by going under - tools, options, and
setting the
user info with my information but it didnt work.

any help/advice would be much appreciated. thanks.
