Subject     is information pertaining to the subject matter of the workbook.

Author     is initially the name specified in the User Name box on the General tab in the Options dialog box, which appears from the Options command from the Tools menu. If this is omitted, the registered user of the copy of Microsoft Excel will be used.

Keywords    are keywords that can be later used in searching for the contents in the file.

Comments     is a comment that can be entered to help a user learn more about the contents or subject matter of the workbook.
