Microsoft Word 2007: Change the author name for documents 
Every time you create a new document, Microsoft Office Word sets the Author property based on the User name setting that appears in the Word Options dialog box. The User name setting also provides the name and initials that are displayed in comments and tracked changes.
Change the author name in an existing document
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button point to Prepare, and then click Properties.
2. In the Document Information Panel, type the author name in the Author box.
Note: Changing the Author property in the Document Information Panel of an existing document has no effect on the User name setting in the Word Options dialog box.
