Word: User-driven document version?

Word 2003 on SP SP-2.

Yesterday I delivered a Word document to my client. Today, I have to do
an update and I want to flag that this is version "1.1".

What is the standard way of doing this? I want to create a field in Word
so that I can use it in headers, etc. Was thinking I could go into
Properties, select the Custom tab and add a field 'Client Version' which
could then be used in the document.

Is there a better/more acceptable/more automated way of doing this? Any
help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

A custom document property is a good way to do it. Within your document you
display the property using a DocProperty field --

{ DocProperty ClientVersion }

Remember you have to update fields after changing the version number.

Thank you. Does seem that this is the most elegant solution. Thank you.
