Modifying Word Properties Dialog Tab

[Ram Prakash Singh]

Hi,
When we open a file in word, click on File | Properties
menu item, it brings up a properties dialog box with 5
tabs. I want to add one more tab to this dialog box. How
can I do this.

Regards,
RPSingh

Hi Ram,

menu item, it brings up a properties dialog box with 5
tabs. I want to add one more tab to this dialog box. How
can I do this.

Microsoft Word doesn't provide this kind of functionality
(you can't modify how the dialog box is presented).

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the reply and info. But I have seen some
applications with properites dialog modified. So I guess,
they are handling the event generated when File |
Properties menu item is clicked and then displaying their
own dialog boxes. Am I right ?

No idea. You'd have to ask the people who did this
customization. That would certainly be a possibility,
though.

Perhaps this was an Addin made in C++. I think programs at
this level can hack into the API and manipulate dialog boxes
in this manner.
