Thanks for the pointers, Charles. Unfortunately getting access to the document properties is only half the problem, because the docs have different metadata -- for example, each document has a different ID, a different release date, and a different version. It seems to me (and maybe I'm missing something) that the links you provided all assume I'm making the same modifications in all the documents. What I was hoping for is some way to tie the VBA to an Excel sheet or some other source that contains all that info. Do you think that's possible?
