The problem was that when my friends wife typed a letter she got the author as Ross Taylor when she is Katie Bird. I told them that is an issue with Office and not the Windoze registry but he has decided to scan the registry and change any instances of Ross Taylor to Katie. Rather him than me and I would probably reformat and reinstall my own stuff rather than use the original as you never know what's been installed and not completely removed etc. Sir Hugh of Bognor Intelligence is not knowing the answer but knowing where and how to find it!
