Hi all,

Is there any way to change system variable for author name so everytime I do
excel, the author name will always be my name.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks but that doesn't work for Author of the file... Still the Author field
is empty in the file properties.

Tools|Options|General|UserName works for the "Last saved by" property.

Any other idea?

This will be applied for new workbooks. Once you set the Author; create a new
workbook through File|New|..and Save As...

Please note that if you try from Explorer| right click |New Excel ..the
author field will still be blank..

In xl2003 menus:

File|Properties|Summary tab
Change the author's name
Save the file
