Microsoft Word: Authors: and Title: in Word document name...?

    I just hovered over a few saved Word files in a folder and there are various headings visible. (Type:, Size:, Date Modified:, etc.)

    Two headings are Authors: and Title: (These do not appear in all files.)

    In quite a few of the files, these headings are filled in as follows...

    Authors:Paul

    Title:Paul Mullan

    Needless to say, I have absolutely no idea who Paul or Paul Mullan are. And, no one else has access to this computer.

    Any idea what's going on here? 🤔

    Thanks.

    D.

    I feel like having deja vu - didnt you asked this very question some years ago and got this very explanation.

    As long you download files from internet, that are created by other people, you should expect them to have their names under Author - they are the creators of same. Lets hope Paul, who is advertising as CV writing business, does not mind you re-using his "creations". 😊

    yep, it was back in Oct 2021 and about PDF's. I guess you stop advertising this before Paul got his legal team on to you... 😎
