Hi,

I have a standard word document (office 2003) in which I want to enter some
"values" such as author_name, subject_name and title_name (which all relate
to the standard fields - Author, Subject and Title)!

In fact, I want to enter these values on my own in the document (on first
page) and then have Word to re-use these values throughout the document (I
use these "fields" on many places in my document).

My question is: Is it possible to:

A) have Word to COLLECT the values of these fields from the current document
or

B) do I have to manually enter the VALUES from the menu "File -> Document
property"?

Kindly,
Mikael

Hi Mike,

Save the document as a template and in it create a macro name AutoNew that
contains the following command

Dialogs(wdDialogFileSummaryInfo).Show
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

Then when you create a new document from the template using File>New, a
dialog box will appear into which you can enter that information.
and it will then appear where-ever you have the relevant { DOCPROPERTY }
fields in the document.
