Imbedded Footers

I am very new at Excel. I fear that I will never catch on to this. My husband on the other hand has used Lotus, now Excel for sometime. However, he isn't very patient at sharing his expertise. But, I have brought a couple of projects home from the office to try to get him to help me. My problem is when I copy something to a disk, then take it back to my office and open it, it has embedded footers that were created on the computer at home. While this is no great disaster, I would prefer not to have my husband's name plastered on all my footers at work, because I used the computer at home. Hope you understand what I mean. Cannot find anything in the help, or elsewhere about deleting these (I hope I'm correct when I call them an embedded footer). It's pretty neat the way it creates the footer for you, but I want to change the name in the footer from my husband's to mine, or eliminate his name all together. You seem to be an expert, maybe you have a solution. Thanks!!
