See open office forum post below

they provide this macro
Sub ChangeAuthor
Dim props,sAns
props = ThisComponent.getDocumentInfo
sAns = InputBox("Enter author name.","Change Author",)
If sAns = "" then End
props.Author = sAns
End Sub
it works in NeoOffice. It pops up a box for the author and just changes the current document not the user settings.
