Changing Word 2010 User Name and Initials
Microsoft Word 2010 sets this information during the installation process when it asks you for your name and initials. Most people will either think nothing of this question, or will forget that they answered it. But when you enter that information, this is what Microsoft Word 2010 is doing with it. Therefore it is important to know what user name and initials are being attached to each document that you create. Step 1: Begin by opening Microsoft Word 2010. Step 2: Click the File tab at the top-left corner of the window. Step 3: Click the Options button in the column at the left side of the menu. Step 4: Click the General tab at the top-left corner of the this window. Step 5: Type your preferred user name and initials into the User name and Initials field in the Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office section at the center of the window, then click the OK button. You will notice that the menu uses the phrase “Microsoft Office” instead of “Microsoft Word”. This is because it will change your name in each of the other Microsoft Office programs installed on your computer.
