Close all documents in Word.
Don't close Word.
File-Open, change to Doc templates (DOT files)
Open normal.dot.
Hit View-Header and Footer.
Go to the footer.
Hit Insert-Field.
Choose User Information, User name.
Save it.
Close it.

That'll put it at the bottom of every page.
It will also change if someone else opens it.

If you want ONLY the creator's name and only at the end of a document, record a macro, store it in the user's normal.dot file. Cut the code from it and place it in the ThisDocument Document_BeforeSave event.
