Insert sharepoint field in Word 2007

[Tony]

Is it possible to insert the version of the sharepoint document in a Word
2007 document as a field? I have been trying to find documentation on this,
with no luck and presume not, but I just need this confirmed.

As far as I can tell you have to do some coding on the server to do this -
see e.g.

http://blogs.msdn.com/joerg_sinemus...version-number-in-the-word-2003-document.aspx

(but I haven't tried it myself yet). I think you can add a calculated column
to the site and set it to [Version], but then you just get a one-time copy.
And I wouldn't call your new column "Version", either

You might check the Insert tab, Quick Parts, Document Properties and see if
the Version field is available. I don't have access to SharePoint to confirm
if Version is an available field right now.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.
