Delete default custom file properties?

[Bob W]

My Office 2003 version of Word appears to contain the following UNWANTED
values in the Custom File Properties window. How do I clean these pesky
items out? The Delete button is greyed out for all of them!

Sorry, you can't get rid of them. They aren't really properties, as they don't
exist in the CustomDocumentProperties collection unless you assign values to
them. They're just suggested names -- but they're hard-coded into Word.
