Anyone out there know how to change the Registered User / Organisation after Office97 has been Installed, I've scanned the registry and files but found no obvious storage place.
Thanks...

After you open Office, note the user/organisation displayed. Then, when you start regedit, do a "find" for this information. If it's there, it should take you there.

Unfortunately, Office embeds the registration name and company into the exe. there are only 2 ways to change it (and neither are pretty):

1) If the user already has a registered copy of the software in your company, copy all the .EXE's from the office directory on their old PC to the same directory on the new one. (only really useful is someone is changing PC's)

2) reinstall Office

I know its probably not what u wanted to hear, but it is not stored in the registry.
