Changing Word documents file properties with VB code.

[Venkat Shiva Reddy]

Hi
In one of my VB application, I need to change the group of MS Word 2000 documents Header and Footer contents automatically with VB code and i did it successfully but I could not change the properties like title, subject, author as a batch process. Could any one help me out

Thanks in advance

Try something like this
.ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdProper tyTitle) = "
.ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdProper tyAuthor) = "

This data can be accessed by using structured storage:

COM wrapper for /reading/ the data:

For writing, you would need additional p/invoke calls.

Maybe it's possible to change the information using NTFS streams
(untested too):
