Doc property into another document

[LarryLL]

I know this is the programming group, but I hope one of you generous people
will know this.

I have 2 documents, A and B. I am interested in putting a doc property of
Doc
A into Doc B.

I think a field reference would be good, but I have only found references
for bookmarks, not doc properties.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Assuming, you have references to both documents ---

Dim pProp as Word.DocumentProperty

set pProp = DocA.CustomDocumentProperties("MyProp")
DocB.CustomDocumentProperties.Add Name:="MyProp", LinkToContent:=False,
Type:=pProp.Type, Value:=pProp.Value


However, given the wording of your question, I suspect you didn't have in
mind a VBA solution. What are you actually trying to do?

Thanks for your response.

Document B is an list of Documents, with information about each, including
the currently submitted revision. (This revision is in the Doc property)

I am interested in having the Document list automatically contain the
current revision for each document, without having to manually update it.

Field references work well within an active document, I am hoping I can find
a way to use a similar method between documents.

Select and copy the value in document A. Switch to document B. Paste Special
(text, formatted or unformatted) with the 'Paste Link' checkbox ticked.

Thank you very much; That was a lot easier that what I was trying.

Have a good weekend.
