    How to change default Author's Name in PowerPoint

    hello friends,

    I am using Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 to prepare the presentation files. But PowerPoint stores the default author's name inside presentation files. I want to change the name of the author of the presentation in PowerPoint. Is it possible to modify default author's name in PowerPoint ? How ?

    First,

    • Load a PowerPoint presentation.
    • Select File >> Properties >> click on Summary tab.
    • Hover mouse pointer over a PowerPoint presentation in Explorer.
    • The default name of the author should appear.


    To change the default author's name, do the following:

    1. Open PowerPoint, select Tools >> Options.
    2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click on General tab.
    3. Underneath User information, type in the desired Name and Initials.
    4. Click OK to close the dialog box.

    • choose Tools -- Macro -- Microsoft Script Editor.
    • In the project explorer, click the slide that hosts the comment you want to change.
    • Then, use Ctrl+F to open up the search dialog and search on "Author".
    • Here, you will be allowed to edit or modify the required fields.
