Re: Word 2013: Author variable

[Keith Hood <bus -dot- write -at- gmail -dot- com>]

All you have to do is open a file, change the properties (change the value
of the 'author' property), update any 'authorr' fields in the file, and
then save the file.  After that, the 'author' field should show the changed
name each time you reopen that file.
