changing company name on Office 2000 Word?

[Guest]

My ex fiance set up my computer and when I open up properties in Word, the
company name that shows..... is well lets say embarassing. I need to change
it on all documents created and prefer not to do it one at a time in case I
forget. I am a grad student and have set out many of documents to Professor's
under that name and CANNOT let it happen again. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're going to have to do it manually. There are programs that can be run
to extract the properties but we can't seem to find one that will plug them
back in. (My husband has been looking for something similar for a while.)

JoAnn,

What about sticking a snipet of code like the following in a batch file
macro:


If ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Company") = "Old Love" Then
ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Company") = "New Love"
End If

Yeah or we could do it the easy way, go to Tools on your menu bar click on
Options and then click on User Information and simply change the information.
Then it won't come up at all. Why people try to do things the hard way
astounds me.

Company Name is the one User Information item that cannot be changed this
way, however--at least not in Word 2000.

Well, that's strange because I just did it and it took all of 3 seconds.
It can be changed this way from Office 95-2002 been teaching this stuff for
6 years and it always works for the 10000's of students I've trained. All
you have to do is add the field after you are done. Easily done.

I guess the real issue is that you can't change the company name on the
splash screen that way.

Ok, I get what you're saying....hummmmm....maybe under Computer name? Let me
get on an old machine with Office 2000 and try it. I'll let you know.
