Document won't save author info

[DBlomgren]

Hello, world,



I'm saving one document as different documents after merging it. I noticed Word was suggesting that I name new documents [document name] 2011. I figured somewhere in the document the year 2011 must have been saved. To get rid of it, I inspected the document and then told Word to delete document properties and personal information.

Done. Merged and saved the document again. So far xxx 2011 has not come up, but the document shows the author as me. No problem. I deleted a property, so it's going to the default. I tell it to change the author to the company. It says OK. But when I save or do a save-as again, it shows the author as me.

How can I get Word to believe that I really want the author to be the company?

I thought I could find a workaround. I went to File, Options. I changed my username to the company name. Closed Word. But still new documents and old documents list me as the author. Help!

Found this workaround: Open a document that has the company as the author. Delete everything. Stick everything from the new document in it, and save as a new document. After saving, it still has the company as the author.
