How to change MS Office Registered User Info

[ASH]

Hi!
Does anyone know how to change MS Office Registered User
Info? My old company's name is registered and I'm working
for a new company now, so i'd like to change that!
Oh, I'm still using the antique MS Office 97...
Bye
ASH

Hi

You can change it in the Registry. Go to Start, Run, type
in regedit and click OK. In the Registry Editor,
highlight My Computer, go to the Menu Bar, select Edit,
Find, type in RegCompany. When the key appear, right
click and select modify or double click to modify.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, ALicia,
but it doesn't work. I think this RegCompany points to
the registry of Windows itself, not of my Office
programmes?
Hope to hear from you soon!

If you are using Office 97 then the only way to change who the product
is licensed to is to reinstall Office.
