I can see by using choose details in the view mode how to add new details. I
cannot find a way to add the information to the newly selected details.
Thanks forf any help.

You can only add information to comments. And some files will not let you
add any comments.

To add a comment to a file

1. Right-click a file.
2. Click Properties.
3. On the Summary tab, type your comment in the Comments area.
-or-

On the Summary tab, click Simple, and then type your comment in the
Comments area.

Notes
To display the comments you add to files, double-click the folder that
contains the files you want to view. On the View menu, click Choose Details,
and select the Comment check box, and then click OK. On the View menu, click
Details to see comments for several files at once, or select a file and
click Details in the left pane to view the comment for the selected file.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

You have to open the files properties.

Right click the file and select Properties. Click the Summary tab. You will see a list of items there.

Some of these items can be changed and some cannot, depending on the type of file and the way the files author intended it to be configured. To change an item, left click the item, move the cursor to the right past the items name and click again. This will give you a text entry box where you can input characters. Some items allow this and some do not.
