You can choose whatever name for it you like; "Version" is available. You'll have to update that property manually whenever you alter the template. There is already a built-in document property named Template that shows the filename (but not the path) of the template attached to the document. In the footer of the template, insert DocProperty fields to display the information. You can use the Insert Field dialog or enter the codes directly into field markers that you insert with Ctrl+F9. The codes would look like {DocProperty Template} {DocProperty Version} and when you select them and press F9 (or right-click and choose Update Field) they'll show the values you want. I've tested to verify that once you create a document based on a template that has a particular version number, that number will stay in the document even if you change the template to a different version number. (You could change the value in the document's File Properties dialog, but I gather that you wouldn't want to.) The Template property will change in the document if you use the Tools Templates & Add-ins dialog to change the attached template. -- 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. |
