If you have Word 2007 then all you have to do is insert bound Document
Property fields in your document. They are found on the Insert tab under
Quick Parts.
Very cool, I might add. You can update the document properties or use the
bound doc property fields to update the properties. You can also add
multiple bound doc property fields if you need the data repeated in your
document. All of the fields and the properties update automatically - all
you have to do is insert the field. :-)
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

I am trying to get the Subject and Title from the file properties of a
document to be set automatically from specified text fields in the
body of the document. I can quite easily go the other way by typing
text into the title and subject fields in the properties dialog box,
and inserting relevant fields into the document, but that's not what I
want. Is there a way to do it using macros, or can I insert a field
so that when a user edits the field, it will automatically update the
file properties. Is this even possible? I consider myself an
'advanced user' of Word, but with some limited experience in coding,
just so you'll know where to pitch any answer to me. Thanks.
