How to persist add-in variables in Word documents?

[Alex]

Hello,

I am writing a Word add-in in C#.

Can anyone tell me what is the best way of persisting the add-in internal variables in a Word document?
I'd like to write them when the document is closed and read them when it is re-opened.

Thanks in advance,
Alex.

Hello Alex,

You can use CustomDocumentProperties.

Hi Alex,

My preference to a custom document property would be a document Variable (look
it up in the object model help, it's NOT the same variables you're used to
working with in a programming language). The advantages of a document Variable
vs. a property

- not visible to the user, only through automation of the object model
- can contain more characters (a doc prop is limited to either 128 or 256,
I can't remember which)
