Default Office prompts user multiple times for name, initals and company

Hello,

I've recently deployed Office XP to several workstations using group
policy from a Windows 2003 server. When users start an office
application, each time they are prompted to enter their name, initials
and company name. I know that they are prompted the first time an
application starts, but this should not be happening each time. Has
anybody else run into this scenario? If so, any ideas on how to make
the prompt go away after the first time?

Thanks
