Hello Charles,
Thanks for your suggestion but i have to store the customized information using an add-in in each document for later use. So please suggest me a solution. I also want that the information should not be lost after quitting from the document. ALso it should not be visible to the USER because it is related to the corporate security.

Please be aware that the functionality you want is not built into Word, and
is not something that can be provided quickly and easily. You haven't given any hint of what kind of information you want to store, so that makes recommendations much more difficult. However, you probably want a "document control system" or "document management system". Use Google or another search engine to look for those terms, including the quote marks, and you'll find a large number of commercial solutions. Until you can specify what information you need to store, though, you'll have a hard time selecting one. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Praful wrote: Hello Charles, Thanks for your suggestion but i have to store the customized information using an add-in in each document for later use.

OK, in that case you need to study the Word VBA help topics about the
Variables collection (where you can store any strings you want, which will be stored in the file but will not be visible in the document) and Userforms (which you can use to build your UI). There is also information about Userforms on the word.mvps.org web site listed in my signature. If you plan to write your addin as a separate application in Visual Basic or one of the .NET languages, you'll still use the Word object model described in the VBA help. If you have further questions about this stuff after reading, please post them in the microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners newsgroup. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Satin wrote: Yes Jay .. you are close!! that i want to built a "document classification system" for corporate.
