I like where you're going, but I'm not sure how to get there. I'm an Excel/Access/VBA guy, but haven't done much in Word/VBA. I figured out how to create a custom Bor1Name property, but it doesn't show up in Quick Parts - Document Properties, so that would imply that the only way to access custom properties is through code. Could you please give more specifics about how to create and update custom properties through code, and then how to use them to populate table fields? I tried to record creating the property, but the macro came up blank.

Thanks for your help.
