RE: user name prompt after office 2003 install

Spectrum48k,

I am installing Office 2003 using a custom .mst file created with the CIW,
and I am having the opposite problem as you. :-) I would like for Office
2003 to prompt the user to enter a username and initials as we use document
tracking features and it always just has the company name for the "Author" on
all Office documents. I have tried installing with the .mst and without the
..mst and everytime, it does not prompt the user to enter username and
initials.

If anyone has any suggestions, please help.
