I inherited a document (Word 2003) with "DARFT" as the resulting text
associated under the field name "DOCPROPERTY Revision". The correct text
should be "DRAFT". How do I edit this field to show the correct text?

Open the File > Properties dialog and go to the Custom tab. You should see
the Revision property listed in the Properties box. Click on it, change the
Value box, and click the Modify button. Click OK.

You may have to right-click the DocProperty field and choose Update Field to
make it show the new value.

The document's creator probably meant you to use the same kind of procedure
to change the Revision field to other values as the document changes, is
reviewed, and is approved.
