How do I find document properties in WORD7. In the older version you could
tell when a document was created , modified etc...?
Thanks

It's carefully hidden. ;-)

First click Office button Prepare Properties. This opens a pane with some
commonly used properties, but not the ones you're interested in. Click the words
"Document properties" at the top left of the pane and then click Advanced
Properties. (If I ever meet the idiot who designed a menu with only one entry, I
have a few choice words to impart...) At last, you'll see the older version's
Properties dialog.

If you think you might want this dialog more than once in a long while, you can
add a button for it to the Quick Access Toolbar. Go to Office button Word
Options Customize. Set the category dropdown to "All Commands", select the
"Advanced Document Properties" item, and click the Add button.

MS has made this needlessly complex. For starters, you can go through
Developer | Templates | Document Panel (ignore everything and click OK),
then click on the arrow beside Document Properties and choose Advanced
Properties, which will open the familiar dialog. This assumes you have
actually enabled the Developer tab (Office Button | Word Options | Popular:
Show Developer tab in the Ribbon).

Had enough? Now make it easier. Go to Customize, choose All Commands, then
Advanced Document Properties, and add it to the QAT.

I totally agree about the idiotic menu. Perhaps they had in mind to include
some less advanced Properties as an alternative?

I suppose there was some such expectation, or maybe third-party developers could
add other panes developed in InfoPath, and those could add themselves to the
menu. Also, I don't have any way to know what SharePoint integration might add
there. Out of the box, though, it's just gratuitous.

Hi Dan,

How do I find document properties in WORD7.

A tip for posting future questions: Word 7 = Word 95, a
much older version. Please use Word 2007 for questions
about the version in order to avoid confusion for those of
us who remember older versions :-)
