For some reason my new copy of Office 2003 has someone elses name in the
author fields. How do I change this preset field?

Newly installed copies of Office (all versions) only show what has been
entered. The brand new out of the box software has nothing entered.

Do you have someone in your house who has access to the computer who added
their information? Do you recognize the name? Is this on newly created
documents or documents that you are opening from others? What do you show
under Tools->Options->User Information tab?
