inserting version number in Word documens
Hi,
I'm using Office 2003 and Rational ClearCase for configuration management. I would like to insert, in either header or footer, the version number of Word documents that are placed under configuration management. What I am looking for is, when ever a document has been updated, the new version number should be inserted automatically into the documents. Is is possible to do it? if so, please let me know how I can achieve this. Cheers, Naveen. |

inserting version number in Word documens
Hi Naveen,
Word has a RevisionNumber property you can access via a DOCPROPERTY field, which you could put in the header or footer. This just gives you a count of how many times the document has been saved +1 since the last 'Save As'. If that's all you need, open the header or footer, press Ctrl F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie '{ }') and fill them in so that you get '{DOCPROPERTY "RevisionNumber"}' and press F9 to update. To get the field to show the last revision number instead of the current one, press Ctrl F9 twice to create a pair of nested field braces (ie '{ { } }') and fill them in so that you get '{={DOCPROPERTY "RevisionNumber"}-1}' and press F9 to update. Word also has a versioning feature, but that is only triggered if the user saves the file via File|Version. As well, I can't see any way to access the version # via a field code, so you'd need to use a macro to access this information for a header or footer.
