WD97: User Name Dialog Box Appears When You Start Word

MORE INFORMATION

You may not want user information recorded on the User Information tab in Word. If you clear the Name and Initials boxes, Word will prompt you with the User Name dialog box when you restart Microsoft Word 97.

NOTE: Default entries will be placed in the Name and Initials boxes of the User Name dialog box when you restart Word. The User Information is shared between the Microsoft Office applications.

Word uses the User Information for the following items:

• Property Sheet Information
• Letters, Envelopes, and Memos
• Track Changes
• Comments

In Microsoft Word versions 6.0/95, when you delete the Name and Initials on the User Information tab, the OK button will become unavailable. To clear the Name and Initials boxes, you need to enter at least one character or press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR.
