How do I insert values in document property fields (eg, title, subject, author from a VB/VBA program?

I know that the reverse (gettign the content of these fields into the document) is by using the DOCPROPERTY field.

Apologies for replying to my own post, but I have a supplementary to this:
I think I can set custom fields with “link to content” option and create bookmarks which contain the content of the custom field.

But I want to do the same for the standard fields like Title, Subject, Author, etc.. How can I link these fields to content?

Take a look at by Astrid Zeeland. You may also want to look at Using VBA, how can I get access to the Document Properties of a Word file without opening the document? by Jonathon West.

Thanks a heap, Chas

The links and what I got there have opened up new possibilities for me in using Word.

Hi,

Thanks to the second address you have given here I have been able to produce a document register showing the file name, title, last saved date and manager. I even have managed to insert a hyperlink to the file name such that by one click on the file name in the document register I can open the file. Thanks to the author!

One thing I have not been able to achieve is to show the name of the directory under which the files are stored.

Are there any solutions to that?

May be the first http address gives this possibilty.

I have earlier come across another code with this posibility though not being able to collect other than file name and last saved date.

Best regards
Bjorn Engebretsen
