To stop future Office documents from adding your name/initials go to options in any Office app. Remove the info like the screenshot but I think something has to be in these boxes. Try using a space to see if that doesn't do it

If you want to remove certain metadata from multiple files I believe you will find your answer here. I would certainly test the method first using a few copied files to make sure I ended up with my desired results.

Sorry, I do not have that application installed to test with. I know in Office suite of apps if the info is removed from one of the apps in the suite, it removes it from all the others.
