Where is the "Status" DocProperty Field in Word 2007?
I've set a value in a Word Doc's "Standard" document properties for "Status".
The document is in the 97-2003 format. Because the doc is in the 97-2003 .doc format, when I go to Insert / Quick Parts, the "Document Property" option is not available in the drop-down (it's grayed out). (If it was in the .docx format, I could select "Status" from under "document property". However, since it's in the 97-2003 .doc format, I have to go to Insert / Quick Parts / Field. From there, under the "Document Information" Category under "DocProperty", I can't find "Status" as a property. All of the other standard properties are available to insert as a field: Author, Title, Subject, Keywords, Category, and Comments. Anyone know how to insert a field for "Status" using Word 2007 in a 97-2003 format document (.doc)? |

Where is the "Status" DocProperty Field in Word 2007?
p.s.
I've tried first saving the file as a .docx, inserting "Status" by using Insert / Quick Parts / Document Property / Status. Then I re-save to .doc. When I do, the content of the property gets converted from a field to flat text. "funnybroad" wrote: I've set a value in a Word Doc's "Standard" document properties for "Status".

Where is the "Status" DocProperty Field in Word 2007?
It depends on which 'status' you're looking to find.
Are you comparing Word 2007 properties Office Button=Prepare=Properties to Word 2003 properties File=Properties [see listing below] or the new Word 2007 Document Property Content Controls? Insert=QuickParts=Document Property (If you're working with SharePoint Document Libraries there can also be Document Library Properties that will be available in the Word 2007 Document Information Panel. Content controls are converted to static text when saving as a Word 97-2003 document. When I save a document that has an inserted Document Property 'Status' control in Word 97-2003 format, then close & reopen the Status in the document is now static text, but the Status field in the Document Information Panel retained the last value before saving the document and I can still change the value there, but it won't be reflected in the document. The Insert-QuickParts=Document Property ability becomes available again if you activate the Word 2007 features for that document via Office Button=Convert |==== File Properties dialog & property fields===} Word 2003 & 2007 Custom Properties Dialog Choices =============== Checked by Client Date completed Department Destination Disposition Division Document number Editor Forward to Group Language Mailstop Matter Office Owner Project Publisher Purpose Received from Recorded by Recorded date Reference Source Status Telephone number Typist The default type for each is 'Text' with 3 other choices =========================== Text Date Number Yes or no Word 2003 & Word 2007 DOCProperties Field ============================= Author Bytes Category Characters CharactersWithSpaces Comments Company CreateTime HyperlinkBase Keywords LastPrinted LastSavedBy LastSavedTime Lines Manager NameofApplication ODMADocID Pages Paragraphs RevisionNumber Security Subject Template Title TotalEditingTime Words Word 2003 & Word 2007 Info Field ======================= Author Comments CreateDate EditTime FileName FileSize Keywords LastSavedBy NumChars NumPages NumWords PrintDate RevNum SaveDate Subject Template Title Word 2003 & Word 2007 Summary Properties =============== Title Subject Author Manager Company Category Keywords Comments Hyperlink base Template [x] Save Preview Picture =========== "funnybroad" wrote in message ...
