Creating Document Properties Based on Another Document
We use a lot of different word documents within our projects. All documents
list common project data, like a project number and description. When we start a new project we usually copy all the old files and update all the common data manually. I am trying to automate some of this, and I think I would like to use document property fields. I have created custom doc properties for this data so that when we copy the files all we have to do is update the properties of each file, and every reference within the document will automatically update. Is there a quick way to create these same document properties in all the other files? |

Creating Document Properties Based on Another Document
Hello,
Have you tried creating a template for your documents? It's an easier way to save document properties as well as styles and formatting.

the properties. "Kathleen" wrote: Hello, Have you tried creating a template for your documents? It's an easier way to save document properties as well as styles and formatting.
