How to change author name in Reader DC

I'm editing a book using the Comments tool in DC. I'd like to permanently change the author name in the properties area. I've checked the "make default" box in the tab many times, but it does not change the name for more than that one comment. It's such a pain changing the author each time I make a change. Help!

Go to Edit (or the Reader menu if you're on a Mac) - Preferences - Commenting and tick off the box next to "Always use Log-In Name for Author name".
Now right-click a comment and select Properties. Go to the General tab and change the Author name. Make sure to also tick the box that says "Make Properties Default".
Click OK, and any new comment you create (from that type) from now on will have your name as the Author by default.
