It is via email when it works, which it hasn't been doing for months. We've
pleaded with Microsoft to put up a notice to this effect (or remove the
option), but so far there's been no response.

Good to know about! But how *did* you find that reference? Does
Microsoft
commit to keeping it stable over versions?
Thanks everyone for the responses. Sorry about the delay. Despite
'checking the box', I'm not getting notification of replies (it *is* via
e-mail, not RSS, isn't it?).

A couple of possible approaches:
a. create a macro like this:
Sub showdocprops()
CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=750, Visible:=False).Execute
End Sub
then use Office Button-Word Options-Customize, select Macros under
"Choose commands from," locate th eMacro and Add it to the QAT list on
the right. Then select it and click Modify to select an icon.
Then it's "click the icon in the QAT, and click the Custom propertie tab
(if it is not already displayed).
I expect someone here knows how to put that sort of stuff elsewhere on
the Word 2007 ribbon in other ways. Nor do I know whether there is a way
to select the tab you want programmatically.
b. in the Customize dialog, click Customize keyboard shortcuts, select
the All Commands category. This shows a rather different list from the
dialog in (a). Locate FileProperties and assign a keystroke.

I'd like to make this simple.
Two ways forward have thwarted me, esp. since Word Help is no longer
working
properly for me (I'm getting empty Office 2010 stuff - subject of a
separate
post.)
i) build a form (I've forgotten how to do this.)
ii) explore the opportunities suggested by the ribbon under
Developer|Templates|Document Panel. The dialog box that opens looks
like it
might supply what I want.
Normally, the Help system would send me where I want to go. But it
seems to
be broken for me.
Thanks
