The author’s name is often used to identify the person who has created a PowerPoint. However, there are some cases when you might want to consider changing the author’s name. For example, you might have used someone else’s device to make the presentation, and want to make sure that you are credited as the author. To help you do this, let’s look at how to change the author’s point of view PowerPoint.
For a new document
In some cases, you might want this change to apply to new documents, and any future documents created on the computer. For example, you might have just purchased the device second-hand and want to make sure that it is set up correctly. To do this, you will need to open a new PowerPoint presentation. Then, move to the File section in the top-left hand corner. Clicking on this will open a drop-down list. At the bottom, you should see a ribbon marked Options.
Options will bring up information about PowerPoint. Look for the one labeled Personalize Your Copy Of Microsoft Word. Click on this.
You will then be able to change the user name. To make sure that these values apply to future PowerPoints, you have to check the option labeled Always use these values regardless of sign-in to Office. Once you are happy, click OK and return to the presentation.
Changing the name in an existing document
If you have already created the PowerPoint presentation, you will have to use this option to change the author’s point of view ppt. First, you will have to move to the File option in the top left-hand side of the screen and click on it. Next, move to the Info tab.
On the right-hand side of the screen, you should see the Related People option. Under this option, you will see the person currently listed at the author. In some cases, they might even have a picture attached. Below them, you should see the Add As Author option. Clicking on this will open a text box. You can then put in your own name. When you have finished, click the enter button.
Then, you will need to remove the original author from the author’s files, to make sure that you are listed as the only author. To do this, you will need to right-click on that person’s name. Right-clicking should create a drop-down list of options. On one of these, you should spot the ability to Remove Person. Select this.
You should now be listed at the only author’s point of view PowerPoint. To make sure that the changes are applied, you should save the document.
Conclusion
When creating a presentation, it’s essential to make sure that the right person gets credit for the slideshow. In some cases, this can mean changing the author’s name by modifying the information on PowerPoint. So, the next time that you work on a presentation, you can be confident that you will be listed as the author.
