Wonder if this happens when the user who created the document has been removed from the system?

Actually you can set this option in the admin console also:-

"No ownership will be assigned"

Fwiw, Document Owner shouldn't have anything to do with whether a user is in the 'created by' column. This just controls the default document owner for newly created documents.

The most likely reason is what Miruna noted below - that the documents predate when tracking the creator was implemented.

It also happens for documents created in older versions of Laserfiche before the creator was recorded.
