Default "User Information" data not sticking


I will not say what I think of the new stuff in Word 2002 regarding
comments and change-tracking.

The problem I wonder about is why, when I put a name like 'Joe' in as
my name under Tools/options/user information, doesn't it stay 'Joe'
when I make comments and track changes? It seems it will be 'Joe' for a
while, but in subsequent opens, it's back to my registered name.
Furthermore, if the document is opened by someone else, the name 'Joe'
is not on tracks, but my registration name is instead. What's wrong?
How do I set it semi-permanently LIKE I COULD IN WORD 2000?

Hi Phil

I have tested out track changes in Word 2002 and changed the User
Information dozens and dozens of times, and I haven't experienced your
problem.

Are you using Word in a corporate environment, on a network? I would suspect
that your IT people have set up Office so that, whenever you load Word, or
perhaps whenever you log into the network, your Windows network user name is
used to populate the Word User Information. So you'll need to talk with your
IT support people.

Hope this helps.
