This is a holdover from the days when the Office for Mac installation was a simple drag-and-drop from the disk, which I hope Microsoft will address in the next version. I see no reason for each user to see his own name in the splash screens of the applications when they launch. I actually prefer they only see the company name (the true owner's name) in the splash screens.
I use Casper's Managed Preferences (MCX) to manage this splash screen information:
Domain: com.microsoft.office
Name: Office 2011 User Name
Apply To: User Level Enforced
Key Name: 14UserInfoUserName
Type: String
Value: Company Name [ you might try a single space here too ]
Domain: com.microsoft.office
Name: Office 2011 Organization Name
Apply To: User Level Enforced
Key Name: 14UserInfoUserOrganization
Type: String
Value: Company Name
I have more MCX settings for Office for Mac here: <http://www.officeformachelp.com/office/administration/mcx/>

Late to the party here..
We have set this as the company and set in the /System/Library/User Template
That way its already setup..
Office 2011 is all pre-configured for each new user…
Unless I've missed the point (which does happen)
