UserInformation userInformation = new UserInformation();
userInformation.Initials = "J. D.";
doc.FieldOptions.CurrentUser = userInformation;

// Create a USERINITIALS field to display the current user's initials,

fieldUserInitials.UserInitials = "J. C.";
fieldUserInitials.Update();

Assert.That(fieldUserInitials.GetFieldCode(), Is.EqualTo(" USERINITIALS  \"J. C.\""));
