PowerPoint 2003 - Misc - Change Default Presentation's Author Name

2. Hover your mouse pointer over a PowerPoint 2003 presentation in Explorer and the author should appear.

If you would like to change the default author name, do the following:

1. From PowerPoint 2003 select "Tools" - "Options".

2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "General" tab.

3. Underneath "User information" type in the desired "Name" and "Initials".

4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
