Office

[IdaReggaeMon]

I just bought a new iBook which came with the Office 2004 Test drive.
I installed this, used it briefly, then bought a real copy of Office.
Before installing the real thing, I uninstalled the Test Drive version.
The real version installed just fine, however it shows that it's
registered to "Office 2004 Test Drive User" instead of me. It's
annoying when you try to do things like insert comments in Excel. Is
there a way to change/fix this? (I'm a newbie to the Mac)

Thanks.

Sorry about the lame thread title, I hit submit too soon.

That information is stored in Word>Preferences>User Information.
Word>Preferences is equivalent to Tools | Options in WinWord, but on the
Mac, nearly every program will have a Preferences entry under the
application menu (the menu that has the same name as the application), and
it's a good place to look if you run into annoyances.

Excel seems to pick up the User Information from Word, so you will probably
need to make the change, then quit and relaunch both programs for it to show
up.
