Hi.
While Windows has a Description column I'm not aware of a Description
property in Word. You'd want Comments. These are available in both.
You could just use the normal document properties dialog to enter a
comment and yes you could create a custom dialog to achieve the same
result. It all depends on how much work you want to do.
BTW, you can also change the Comments without opening the document by
right mouse clicking and selecting the Summary tab. Change the
Comment by clicking the area to the right of the property label. A
text box will appear and you just type your text.
HTHs
Cheers

Hi,.
Sorry if I'm explaining myself wrong or if a solution is already posted
somewhere, but I dont' know exactly how to explain this so I don't know what
to search for...
Is there a way to use VBA to add a brief description about a word document
into the "Description" category (like "name", "date modified", "size", etc)
of the folder it's in?? For example, let's say that I save document
'May2.doc' to the 'My Documents' folder and then I change the folder's "View"
setting to "Details" so I can see info about all of the files in the folder.
One of the columns that you can choose to show is called "Description". Is
there a way for me to write my own description of May2.doc so it'll show up
in that column and so that I can distinguish its contents from those of May1,
May3, May4, etc without having to open each one??
Alternatively, is there a way to add a description to the little pop-up
window that appears when my mouse hovers over the name of each file?? I
wouldn't be able to sort that, the way I can with "Description", but at least
I could still find the file I wanted... eventually.
Thanks for any ideas or new directions you can offer!
