In 2007 it is done thus:
Click office button>Word options (bottom right-ish)
The bottom pane is then "Personalise your copy of MS Office"
User name box is customisable.

I dont see the office button. when I open microsoft word, it says on the bottom "1983-2001." does this mean I have microsoft word 2001?

When you have Word open, click on Help - About Word in the top menu
That should tell you the actual version.

But most earlier versions should have a "Tools" option on the top menu, clicking that should give a drop down list with "Options", under Options there should be User Information that you can edit to change the user.

Exactly as posted above, but unless you can tell us what version you have we cannot be certain.

There is no "2001" version of Word, only Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word XP (2002) Word 2003 and Word 2007.
