Your steps mirror mine. In office 2007 once you turn on teh developer tab from Word options you will see the Document Panel button. This is the same button or takes you to the same location as you have described using docuemnt properties button.
In the original question I have done these steps where I am having a probelm is after your step 7, Getting the value of this custom field to render wihtin the header or footer or even body of my document. I am trying to do this by usign the formula field and calling the DocPrperty but I receive an error message in teh document that it is an unknown field.
Thank you
