I wish to print some File custom properties in the Footer of a page - for example, the version number of a excel document.

How do I go about doing that? It's very easy in Word, but not so in Excel.

In XL2007 the *Header and Footer* menuitem is on the *Insert* tab. In
earlier versions this is on the *View* dropdown menu.

In all versions this can be accessed via the *Print* dialog *OR* within
*Print Preview*.

I may not have made myself very clear.
The file properties I wish to include in either a header or foot are found by selecting File\Properties\Custom - then various fields can be added by a user along with variables - Text\numerical etc.
The Header\Footer regions of a file can be accessed as explained by Gary above.
What is not clear is how to link the File custom properties into the Header\Footer area - the options available in "Custom Header\Footer" are limited.

I suspect a VBA solution is required.
 
The Workbook.BuiltinCustomProperties obect is exposed to VBA, and so
can be accessed for read/write. The Header/Footer can also be accessed
in VBA via Worksheet.PageSetup. Thus, you can read the desired props
and then write them to the Header/Footer as desired.
