My office computer has our company name as the registered name for Microsoft
Office, however I noticed a mispelling to that company name and every time I
write a letter and have to add my company name, Word will change it to the
mispelled name automatically.

How do I correct the name Office is registered to?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Suzanne. I followed the steps completely (should have mentioned I'm
having problems with Microsoft Office Word 2003 part of Microsoft Office
Small Business Edition 2003).

I see that I successfully changed the company name and can view it in the
"About Microsoft Office Word" tab, however when I am typing my company name
in Word it will still insert the old incorrect spelling.

I followed the instructions from the link completely, including the note at
the bottom about "if the company name is changed in all programs except one",
and I'm still having the problem.

Any other suggestions you may have for me? Could I live with it? Sure. But
I'd prefer to try and correct it so any reports that go out don't have the
mispelling of my company name and make us look stupid.

Thanks again!

Check Insert | AutoText | AutoText to see if there is an  incorrect AutoText
entry for the company name.
