I am a teacher at a school district and I have always been able to catch
cheaters by looking at the owne and the author name. Rescently, students
have figured out how to change the author manually. Is there a way to keep
students from this informaiton or somewhere else I can check to see this
information?

I sure hope you failed the ones you caught... not because of plagiarism or
dishonesty, but simply on the basis of *stupidity* & *laziness*. All they
ever had to do was copy & paste into a new doc rather than duplicating the
file - no big trick.

There is nothing you can do because that information is in the file they're
copying. Unless you have access to it before the fact your hands are tied.
Even if you did have access it would be a fruitless exercise in futility.

I neglected to point out that there may be other information in the
Properties which might help - take a look at the Statistics page. That is
info that can't be directly modified by the user. As before, though, if they
copy & paste into a new doc that data won't do much good - it will update
when pasted into the new doc. OTOH, if they use the OS to duplicate the
file, I believe the duplicate will have the same statistical info as the
original.
