How can I view file properties each time I save a file in Word 200
How do I turn on the automatic viewing of file properties whenever a file is
saved in word 2007? I want the properties summary to appear every time I save or "save as" a file. -- Cheers, John |

Hi John, That isn't the behavior you get normally with either Word 2003 or 2007. In Word 2003, you can check the box for Tools Options Save Prompt for document properties. It will display the properties dialog only the first time you save a new document, not on subsequent saves or on save as. In Word 2007, the option doesn't appear in the Word Options dialog (thanks, MS :-b ) but you can turn it on by opening the macro editor, opening the Immediate window, and entering the command Application.Options.SavePropertiesPrompt = True (or False to turn it off). The behavior is the same as in 2003. If you really want to be pestered by the prompt on _every_ save (which would drive me around the bend in short order, though some might say it's a short trip), you'll have to write macros to intercept all the possible ways of saving a document and insert the command Dialogs(wdDialogFileSummaryInfo).Show or, if you want the complete file properties dialog, Dialogs(750).Show and then call the command that does the intended action. The list of intercepts includes FileSave, FileSaveAs, FileSaveAll, AutoClose (which will prompt the user to save if the document is 'dirty'), and a bunch of weird ones like FileSaveAsOtherFormats. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How can I view file properties each time I save a file in Word
Jay,
My request is simple. When I do a save as, I'm generally doing it to find out where my file is located (I'm old and forgetful) or to save it as a new name. How do I get that option in 2007 word? |

If you add the following macro to the normal template
Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm the folder where an open document is located will be shown in the Word title bar. Save As is under the Pizza (Office) Button top left of the Word screen. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org mom in omaha wrote: Jay, My request is simple.

Graham, Now, was that nice to send this old lady to a page titled "Idiots' Guide"? lol I'm going to attempt it, but this may be the last straw forcing me to return to 2003 menu system if possible. Can you give me instructions to use the old menu in 2007 product? |

2007 does not use the 2003 menu system, but there is a reasonable facsimile
of the menus available from the free version of http://ribboncustomizer.com/ -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org mom in omaha wrote: Graham, Now, was that nice to send this old lady to a page titled "Idiots' Guide"? lol I'm going to attempt it, but this may be the last straw forcing me to return to 2003 menu system if possible.
