The constant pressure for high-quality legal documents in short time frames, especially for a high-volume practice, can be overwhelming. My Point is, not actual login confidential information, but simply a consistent mechanism to obtain the UserName used by Word regardless of its origin and regardless of the various account mapping mechanisms that Word utilizes.For lawyers, document drafting is a demanding and time-intensive part of the job. Like what happens if the Machine account is local and/or they override with the 'Always Use This Information' checkbox on the File/Options/General page. At least, AddIns could utilize it and the User can control it, via a simple mechanism So there would be no more harm in listing this 'User Name' in the UserName field of the File/Options/General page than there is using it as the Author name in revisions. This happens to be the Cloud Account User Name when the user's machine account is 'linked' to their Cloud Account and Word uses that 'User Name' as the Author for Revisions. I'm not interested in the actual Login information (as in account information), I'm only interested in the 'User Name' which is equivalent to what is displayed as 'Author' on revisionsĭuring Track Changes that Word Uses.

I've worked around the issue, but just to clarify for other readers. Oh, maybe I need to add that Word 2013 is running within an Office 365 environment on Win8? Again, I need to obtain the value of the 'Cloud Account' UserName instance. Regardless of sign in to Office.' checkbox is set on the File/Options/General page. In Word 2013, all three of these 'UserName' instances are utilized by Word 2013 as Author Names on Revisions, depending upon how the user has their local machine account setup (local or Cloud) and whether or not the 'Always use these values

Thus I need an Office 2013 / Word 2013 Developer to point me to (if there is any) the method to access this 'Cloud Account' user name. This is the instance that I can't seem to find any method to access. Microsoft introduced the new concept of connecting Office Applications to the Cloud, and thus introduced into Word 2013Ī new UserName. What I can't obtain, is the 'Cloud Account' that the user might have associated with their 'Local Account'. This value is equal to the 'username' of the c:/users/.

I know about - this is the 'Local Account' display name of the local machine account the user is logged in on. I know about Application.UserName - this is what is set on the File/Options/General page. Already done that, and it does NOT contain the same information that is displayed by the File/Account/User Information page.
