If you'd read the entire thread, you'd see that I've long since added
Advanced Document Properties to the QAT and recommended it to the OP. I had
forgotten about Prepare, however. Since I have so far not gotten far enough
into Word 2007 to actually save or print any documents (except a couple Word
2003 format ones that I chickened out and printed from Word 2003), I haven't
had a lot of use for Prepare. g

Hi Suzanne,
In addition to being able to right click on
Office Button=Prepare=Properties to add the basic
Properties/Information panel to the Quick Access bar, you can choose to
add to
the Quick Access Toolbar
'Advanced Document Properties'
from the All Commands list in
Office Button=Word Options=Customize for the old style Properties
dialog.
The Document Information panel's capabilities can extend quite a bit
beyond what the old 'properties' dialog did and can be setup to
ask for quite a bit of information, often for SharePoint library work or
for collaboration. I suspect that in part the old Word
setting may have interfered with being able to rely on the new information
requests 'getting thru' when something is automated, but
it's a guess.

Same here. And I have used Word 2007 so little that I know I haven't done
anything weird. But the way I found this in the first place was from an
article in Herb Tyson's Word 2007 Bible blog at
http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com/2...-in-word-2007/,
which tells how to make the Document Information panel display at Open and
initial Save; unfortunately, I don't consider this a satisfactory
alternative to "Prompt for document properties," either.
