WD: How to Change the Company Property Information

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a

SUMMARY

The "More Information" section of this article discusses various methods you can use to change the Company property in Microsoft Word.

This behavior is different from Microsoft Word 6.x because the Summary information in Microsoft Word for Windows 6.x did not include the company property field.

To permanently change the company property in all user defined templates and the Normal template in Microsoft Word 97:

1. Remove Microsoft Word 97.

2. Use either of the following methods to reinstall Word 97:

       - If you are reinstalling from a compact disc, place the correct
         information in the name dialog box.
   

       - If you are reinstalling from disks, you will need to reinstall from a
         new set of disks because company information is permanently written
         to the disks during installation.
