I had the same problem with MS Word (version 4.something). All I did was drag
the offending copy of Word into the trashcan, and drag a fresh copy off the
original floppy into the old Word's place. When I started it up, it again asked
me to personalize my copy of MS Word, and everything proceeded as if I had 
never made the typing mistake. Since I was expecting the original floppy to be
permanantly marked with my (misspelled) name, you can imagine my surprise when
this technique worked...
