How to Update User Information in Microsoft Word

When Microsoft Word is first installed, you will be asked to provide some basic information such as your name, initials and address when you are registering the software. Microsoft Word uses this information when you create labels and envelopes and inputs it into the summary information for each document. If the information you initially entered has changed, you can easily update your new user information.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Microsoft Word 2003

1. Open Microsoft Word and start a new blank document or open an existing document from your files. Once you have updated your user information, this information will be applied to all of your current and future Word documents.
2. Choose the "Tools" menu and click on "Options…" to open the "Options" dialog box. You can change all of the basic Word settings using the "Options" dialog box.
3. Click on the "User Information" tab in the "Options" dialog box to display the current user information that is saved in Microsoft Word.
4. Use your cursor to highlight and select the text in the "Name" text box. Use the keyboard to add new information, if you need to change the name portion of the user information.
5. Change your initials by selecting the text and typing in the new initials you wish to use to change the initials set in the user information.
6. Add or change the mailing address in the user information section of the "Options" dialog box by clicking in the textbox and typing the information with your keyboard.
7. Select the "OK" button to close the "Options" dialog box and save your changed user information. When you input all or part of the user information into a document, the changed information will now be entered into the document.
