Remarks
The DocumentAuthor property returns or sets the author of the active document. The author always has non-expiring owner rights to the document, whether owner permission is granted explicitly (through a UserPermission object) or not.
The DocumentAuthor property can only be changed to a different account that has been certified through the permissions user interface to open restricted content on the local machine. In most cases, users who have a single Windows account can only choose between their Windows and their Passport identities.
If the user's Microsoft Windows and Passport identities use the same email address, use the format passport:someone@example.com to specify the Passport identity as the DocumentAuthor property.
