FWIW, you may be over-managing the issue. You could, for example, use just the filename, coupled with a FILENAME field in the header and/or footer. That would display 'My document v1.3.docx' and would update anytime the document is printed or a print preview is done. A Document_Open macro in the document's template could also be used to update the field anytime the document is opened, without triggering the alerts that a macro in the document itself might do.
