One of my users is sharing out an Excel document in their
shared documents folder. When he tracks changes, for
some users it shows the user's full name, ie John Smith,
but for others it shows nothing. This is on an XP Pro
operating system on a Novell 6 network. Any help on this
would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think I've figured out part of this already. I'm
thinking that Microsoft Excel is using whatever username
was entered into Microsoft Office when it was installed.
Since most of our computers come with Microsoft Office
pre-installed on them, the name has been left blank. Now
my question new question: How do I get a username entered
into Microsoft Office after it has been installed,
without reinstalling the entire product? I didn't see
anything in Office or in the registry. Thanks.
