Hi Alexandro,

it's not a good idea to create a user defined property named "Author" as
there already is that built-in property with the same name. The problem
for Marco is that OOo does not allow to edit it directly but always
automatically takes it from the user settings.

This is more a "philosophical" problem, as adding an edit field in
"File-Properties" would be easy. So an RFE for that could help. Marco,
if you want to create an issue for that, you can assign it to me (mba).

Regards,
Mathias

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
