Save Author Property Word 2007 Template

R

In Word 2007 I created a template which has a organizational name (e.g. ACME)
for the author.
The template is stored on a shared drive so that others in the organization
can use it.

When I open the template and then save as a word file (.docx), my personal
name is inserted in the author field.

Is there a way to save/retain the author property specified in the template
so that the organizational name is saved with new word docs saved from the
template?

Author is a property set in Tools > Options > User Information and stored on
a per user basis in the registry and not with the document.
You could set the Organisation as a custom property in your template and use
a Docproperty field to reproduce that information.
