Confused Changing Author on MS word used PC [Moved from XP]

I have bought a used PC from a company that was going bust. All good. I have not been given any discs for the operating system (XP) at all so if it goes wrong I am in trouble!

However all the documents I create in word have an author of Gillian and the PC is registered to xxxx builders.

Well I dont really want their name showing on my documents. This Gillian is the registered user so cannot delete her as an administrator.
How can I change the authoring of word docs to my name?

Dont really want to use google docs or similar, dont really want to buy an operating system so on install its registered to me. Would like to create on my pc and email for work etc.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Changing Author on MS word used PC

What version of MS Word or Office do you use ? In MS Word 2003 it's in tools => options => user informations.
