I'd like to add my extracted document properties (unzipping my template)
docprops folder custom.xml file that contains my custom document properties
that will be used in the document fields to update for my other templates.
Is there an easier way to do this?
I have done so somewhat precariously.
Method 1) Select the extraced files & folders, where the docprops folder now
contains the custom.xml file, right-click, select Add to Existing Archive,
overwrite or update everything. Open the template in Word, ignor any
warnings, recover if necessary. Then Save As the original file overwrite, yes.
Method 2) Open the original file with WinZip (I don't think it matters which
zip utility you use), drag the custom.xml into the WinZip window. Then
right-click custom.xml and select Properties, add the path, docProps/. Exit
WinZip, Open in word, Save As, overwrite yes.
I have nearly 500+ docs to update, there must be an easier way!
TIA

P.S. I'll most likely post a followup question, here an advance copy:
Currently I use DDE from GoldMine (CRM) to accecpt the current record ID,
then ADO to execute a sProc refrenced in an INI file, I use the INI file to
store the server and sProc names (dev to production & anywhere in between). I
then validate my recordset and loop to update my doc properties matching by
name/value - Is there a better or easier way? Also I should note that these
doc's are printed via an automated process so anything that involves user
interation is out.
