Which data do you want to edit as the syntax varies according to the particular datum class, (document property, custom property etc)

In the abscence of a response then to enable the question closure:

To display/remove the panel:
Application.DisplayDocumentInformationPanel = True 'False

To Add Read a custom document property:
Read
myVar = activedocument.CustomDocumentProperties("WhatYouWantToCallTheField").value
Set
activedocument.CustomDocumentProperties.Add _
Name:="WhatYouWantToCallTheField", LinkToContent:=False, Value:="What value you want the field to have", _
Type:=msoPropertyTypeString

To set / read a builtindocumentproperty
Set
activedocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Author") = "ChrisB"
Read
myVar = activedocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Author").value
