Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a word template that has a dialog box attached in which the user enters information to generate the document. &nbsp;I would like to take the text field info and attach it to the document properties. &nbsp;Later, I want the user to be able to run a different macro -- which will pull that document property information into the new macros dialog box. &nbsp;(Trying to avoid the user having to enter the same information twice.)<br />
<br />
I'm open to any other suggestions for storing the data if doc properties is not the way to go.. Either way, can you tell me how to do this?<br />
<br />
Thank you so much! &nbsp;~JTG

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
