Author name

Under:

File => Properties => Summary

there is an Author field with my name inside.

How do I change this name to default to another?
 
It's the value that you defined when you installed Excel/Office, and it is
setup in the registry.

You could re-install Excel, or change the registry. You would need to get
the GUID of the product, and find that in the key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products

and it would be the Value RegOwner under that GUID. If you take this route,
backup the registry. I don't recommend it, and be it on your own head, I
might ave the wrong key, I have never done it myself, but I am sure it can
be done.
