I've looked on line and I'm really stuck.
I got a brand new Macbook Pro last week with Microsoft Office 2011 installed (from university).
They have given me the disc etc but when they installed the software they spelled my name incorrectly.
I have tried to follow the instruction here to change the name:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2394111
But, I cannot find this file - com.microsoft.office.plist anywhere on my mac.
Although I have found this file - com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist
I tried to change the information using Xcode as instructed here:
http://uniquemethod.com/change-the-registered-to-name-on-microsoft-office-for-mac
but since I do not have the com.microsoft.office.plist file it was pretty useless.
Also...I tried to see how far I can get with the following steps and I cannot find the Office Registration Cache and OLE Registration Database I wonder if I am looking in the wrong place.
Where should the Microsoft folder be?
I found a Microsoft Office 2011 folder under applications, and inside that folder is an Office folder.
Am I where I should be?
Help.
I know it is just a silly thing really but it annoys me that whenever I start word, excel, outlook and powerpoint I see my name spelled incorrectly.
Any advice?
PS. I've never used a Mac before so the system is still a bit new for me.
