How to define a custom property category

[Sandeep Sharma]

Hi,

In word, when I go for inserting fields to a document, I
can choose it from a number of pre-defined categories.
Each category has some pre-defined fields to be used.

Now, I have defined some custom property from File-

properties->Custom (Tab). These properties can be

inserted (used) in the document as fieds which appear in
Insert->Field and Document Property.

I want that the custom properties I have defined in the
document should appear in a new custom category so that I
may always know the custom properties associated with the
document.
Is there some way out !!!

Thanks.
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

No way to do this using Word's built-in "Insert Field"
feature, no. Although you might want to submit it to the
wish list on microsoft.com

For this, I'd say you'd be better off rolling your own
interface, using VBA. You could place a dropdown on a
toolbar, for example. Or create a UserForm and put a button
to it in the Insert menu (even re-routing Word's internal
command, if you really wished to do so).
