Anyone know of a way to add the version number to a document, like that used
in auto text.

ie.. This is Version #(version number here)

If you want the "revision number" (as Word defines it), you can use a RevNum
field, but this merely indicates the number of times a document has been
saved. If you want a more meaningful version number, create a custom
document property, save the version number in that property, and use a
DocProperty field to insert it.

If you are actually using Word's FileVersions feature (as opposed to Save
Asnewname to create separate files), AutoText will insert the same info
as appears in version's Title Bar. You can also use the Insert AutoText
button on the Header/Footer toolbar.

Thanks, that works great ... Is there a way to get the DocProperty to
auto-update?

I tried the macro that toggles from print preview and back (using the
auto-update option), but to know avail... Versioning seems kinda buggy, but
still worth using..

If you're using Word's versioning feature, then I can't help you, as I would
touch that with a ten-foot pole!
