Trick question! You don't! Seriously, the Connect software gets author from the metadata - so you need metadata in a file to provide it... raw text doesn't have metadata. So you need to save it in a format that does - like PDF or RTF. If it doesn't require special reformatting, just open it in Wordpad, "save as" rtf, then make sure there's something like this near the top of the file:

{\info{\author Me}{\title Why Beer Is Tasty}}

Wordpad doesn't write an info block by default, so cutting and pasting the above with the proper values should do it. I've never seen an RTF spec, so not sure if there's a placement requirement... I usually put it right after the {rtf block closes.
