DOCPROPERTY in Word

[29466999]

What should I do, if I want to change some of the DOCPROPERTY's in word.

I'm assuming you are trying to insert either the BuiltInDocumentProperties or CustomDocumentProperties into fields placed in a document.

The correct syntax to place DocumentProperties into document fields is - { DOCPROPERTY "Name"} - where "Name" is the name of either one of the BuiltInDocumentProperties or CustomDocumentProperties that you may have created.

E.G.
From the Insert menu:
select field...
from the Categories: list box choose
Document Information
then from the Field Names: list box choose
DocProperty

In the textbox below both list boxes enter the name of the field desired enclosed in quotes.
i.e. "Author" for the document's Author or "My Custom Field" if you had created a custom field with that name.

Press the "OK" button and the field will show in the document.

There's a hell of a lot more, but this should get you started - I guess...

To use these items in other modes (i.e. program code) you have to understand a lot more about Word's object model.

Hope helps,

Hey Darrell,

It was the BuiltInDocumentProperties keyword I was looking for, and by using that, I could solve my problem in VBA. Thank you.

Best regards
