Default Change Author Name

Often, I am asked to make massive changes to workbooks that have originally
been created by another, usually someone who has left the company. They, and
I for that matter, would prefer that I be listed as the new author. As I
alter the file, I tend to rename it, via €˜file save as, as -1, -2, etc.
However, often when I do file save as, and begin to enter a revised name, I
see the old authors name showing on my monitor in a fleeting fashion, as if
a reminder to me that I am not really the author! Long ago, under file, then
properties, I changed the authors name to my own and it has not changed
back, so that is not the problem. And so I ask:

How else can it be that these files still think the old author is the author?

Thanks!
