Document Properties 2007

[Summer]

In 2003 you can set Options to Prompt for Document Properties on Save.

I saw a recent post by Herb Tyson (I think) suggesting to turn this feature on in Developer Tab Document Panel Check the feature for Document Properties.

I use 2007 Professional Academic and do not see Document Panel in the Developer Tab.

I run as a standalone and hook into a 2-3 machine Wireless Network and run a Sharepoint Website.

I was going to use my VBA 2003 macro but obviously this will not work in 2007 as the Properties is Office Prepare Properties.

Help!

Hi Summer,

In 2003 you can set Options to Prompt for Document
Properties on Save. I saw a recent post by Herb Tyson
(I think) suggesting to turn this feature on in
Developer Tab Document Panel Check the feature for
Document Properties. I use 2007 Professional Academic
and do not see Document Panel in the Developer Tab. I
run as a standalone and hook into a 2-3 machine Wireless
Network and run a Sharepoint Website. I was going to
use my VBA 2003 macro but obviously this will not work
in 2007 as the Properties is Office Prepare Properties.

I don't have that tab in my Word installation, either. But
perhaps Herb has InfoPath installed, as well, which might
give him that...

If your macro code executes the commandbar control ID 750
then it should still work

Otherwise, you can turn on the prompt using

Application.Options.SavePropertiesPrompt = True

The CommandBars enumeration has a method ExecuteMso. Call it with
ExecuteMso("AdvancedFileProperties") and it will bring up the properties
dialog.
