Microsoft Word 2007: Change the author name for documents
Every time you create a new document, Microsoft Office Word sets the Author property based on the User name setting that appears in the Word Options dialog box. The User name setting also provides the name and initials that are displayed in comments and tracked changes.
Change the author name in an existing document
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button point to Prepare, and then click Properties.
2. In the Document Information Panel, type the author name in the Author box.
Note: Changing the Author property in the Document Information Panel of an existing document has no effect on the User name setting in the Word Options dialog box.

Use Portrait and Landscape Orientation in the Same Document

1. Select the pages or paragraphs that you want to change to portrait or landscape orientation.
**Note: If you select some but not all of the text on a page to change to portrait or landscape orientation, Word places the selected text on its own page, and the surrounding text on separate pages.
2. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Margins.
3. Click Custom Margins.
4. On the Margins tab, click Portrait or Landscape.
5. In the Apply to list, click Selected text.
**Note: Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text that has the new page orientation. If your document is already divided into sections, you can click in a section (or select multiple sections), and then change the orientation for only the sections that you select.
