I want to add the name of the author to the footer in Excel.
I know that Excel knows the name of the author.
I can see it in document properties, and whenever I create a macro, my name
appears.
I would like to print the name at the bottom of the page.
Is there any way to do this?

I do not see a button for Author on the custom Header/Footer dialog box.
