As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is by editing the string in
the registry.  Whether or not you can use a hexidecimal editor to do this or
not, I'm not really sure.
If you open up the string:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Common\UserInfo

you can view the info here, but whatever you do, do not try to change it by
opening the UserName value and just typing in a new user name.  If you do,
you will get something that looks like gibberish when you open an
application and look at the Help>About (Microsoft Office Application)

I've found mention of this on other computer forums, but have yet to find a
way to change this info.  The only sure method, would be to re-install
Office again.
