Hello Charles,
Thanks for your suggestion but i have to store the customized information
using an add-in in each document for later use. So please suggest me a
solution.
I also want that the information should not be lost after quitting from the
document. ALso it should not be visible to the USER because it is related to
the corporate security.

Please be aware that the functionality you want is not built into Word, and
is not something that can be provided quickly and easily.

You haven't given any hint of what kind of information you want to store, so
that makes recommendations much more difficult. However, you probably want a
"document control system" or "document management system". Use Google or
another search engine to look for those terms, including the quote marks,
and you'll find a large number of commercial solutions. Until you can
specify what information you need to store, though, you'll have a hard time
selecting one.

solution,but want to develop my own. Just need to know what api's word
exposes to store information that can be hidden from a "general user".i want
to give a UI (thru addin) for the user to look up the history of changes to

OK, in that case you need to study the Word VBA help topics about the
Variables collection (where you can store any strings you want, which will
be stored in the file but will not be visible in the document) and Userforms
(which you can use to build your UI). There is also information about
Userforms on the word.mvps.org web site listed in my signature.

If you plan to write your addin as a separate application in Visual Basic or
one of the .NET languages, you'll still use the Word object model described
in the VBA help.

If you have further questions about this stuff after reading, please post
them in the microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners newsgroup.
