I thought Office particularly 2000 Professional let each programme within it change the user. Word : Select Tools menu Options and User Information tab insert new company here. Excel: Select Tools menu Options and General tab insert new company against User Name. Powerpoint: Select Tools menu Options and General tab insert new company here. It may well apply to Office Icon too? Give it a go.
