I have changed companies and my old company name is inserted under the
authoring information for all Office 2003 files. How do I globally change
this to my new company name?

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821550 for how to change the name in the
program itself -- that is, in the splash screen and the About box.

To set it for all new documents, open the Normal.dot template directly
(through the File > Open dialog, navigating to the Templates folder) and
change the Company field in the File > Properties dialog.

For existing documents, you'll need a macro that opens each document,
changes the value of that document's .BuiltInDocumentProperties("Company")
property, and saves and closes the document. There's code to open each
document in a folder in the article
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm that can be adapted for
this purpose.
