Thanks:
somebody sendme this and do the job very well:

Why is it important to remove personal information from a workbook?

*When you do not want to expose your personal details when posting a question with an attached
*sample workbook to a Web forum.
*When sending a workbook by mail.
*When publishing a workbook on a Web site that allows downloading.

To remove personal information from a workbook:

1. From the Files menu, select Properties, and then select the Summary tab.
2. Remove personal information and click OK.
To remove personal information from a workbook in Excel versions 2002 and 2003:
3. From the Tools menu, select Options, and then select the Security tab.
4. Check Remove personal information from file properties on save and then click OK.

thanks thanks thanks

Couldn't you just do:

File|Properties|summary tab
and change that author's name to something else

If you close the workbook, you could do this from windows|Explorer, too.
Rightclick on the file
choose properties
and change the author on the Summary tab
