Odd thing in footer when saving as excel file

I have a report whch I have been using for many months with no problem. I prompt for the relevant customer and save it as an excel file to send to customers. In the excel file I format the page and in the footer I select from the drop down menu the options 'prepared by <my name>". The other day I ran the report as usual but my name wasn't in the drop down list - instead the name was Trinh Do. I have run the report again for other customers and my name has re-appreared but when I run it for this customer is now keeps having this odd name. When I ran it the week before my name was there and I haven't altered anything. Its not really a problem as I have used the custom footer but I would love to know why this has happened - anyone got any ideas?
 
Noticed it before and assumed it was due to the use of a macro to save the report; Excel picking up some data from the cognosscript compiler or the excel-rendering routine in Impromptu. Was wondering whether it was the name of a Cognos coder or just garbage.
