My company bought font licenses for the office. Let says Helvetica. I want to modify the name to HelveticaSPD to the whole family. I have seen it done, can someone point me to some instructions?
Thanks in advanced.

Typically a modification like that would be done by the font's author/licensor (and with their knowledge/permission). Even changing something as simple as the name is more complicated without the original source files, since it involves decompiling/recompiling the font. TTX would be one tool to use; it converts fonts to XML, so you could use a text editor to search for and modify the appropriate name entries (there are several), then recompile. (Worth mentioning that many font/software licenses prohibit modification or decompilation, so, you know, be kind, don't get into trouble, etc.)
