Re: Property autofill contents

Jay,
Thank you for your response.
The information is indeed helpful.
I checked out the google groups, and found a couple of interesting articles,
MS KB articles on the DSOfile.dll file, etc....
I then called those two up in the Office help file.
Two items initially come to mind after having read the articles provided in
the help file.
It seems to me that the BuiltInDocumentProperties allows for reading the
properties, and CustomDocumentProperties allows for editing those
properties,m or creating new ones not normally accessible, or allowed.
Is this correct?
where can I find a digitally accessible library that gives all the property
items I can modify, or look for?
The help file appears to be limited, and we don't have a VBA book for Word.
Again thank you for the course direction.

Good morning all.
I've been working with Excel for a while and have become reasonably
comfortable with macros.
Last week, a colleague and I were discussing having an autofill macro
that he'd made for excel which populates the contents, author name,
and keywords, etc... boxes in the property dialogue box.
He'd asked me if I'd seen anything like that for Word. (it's
important for the work we do here)
I've looked around using a few different keywords here, and cannot
locate any discussions on this topic for Word.
Are there any discussions available where this topic has been
discussed? If so, where might I find them?
Thank you for your responses.
Best.

Office documents have two kinds of properties that are stored in separate
collections: BuiltInDocumentProperties and CustomDocumentProperties.

You can use Google and Google Groups searches for these two terms to find
plenty of discussions on the topic -- for example,

<http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=builtindocumentproperties&as_ugroup=microsoft.public.word.*>

If you have specific questions about working with these collections, come
back here any time!
