If that information is stored in a field-accessible document property, you
can use a document property field to insert it. For example, open a document
and choose File - Properties, and explore what you see, particularly in he
Custom tab. In addition to the properties you see there, you can define
additional properties, e.g., one you might call Version.

In order for this solution to work, someone has to remember to set the
properties, you can help them remember with Tools - Options - Save - Prompt
for Document Properties.

Once you've identified the properties you wnat in the header, choose View -
Header and Footer. Put the insertion point where you want it, then choose
Insert - Field. Set Field Name to DocProperty, then choose the desired
properties from the list shown.

Is there a way to automatically include document version information in
the
header? Specifically the version information like date and time of the
current version of the document.
