I started a thread about how two companies can share a document. I have another question about that. The other company originates the document, so I am trying to use their format as a starting point. I was going to use a lot of IF fields to toggle terms that switch between the two companies:



{IF {DOCVARIABLE CompanyName}="Acme" "Star" "Meteor"}

Problem: the other company's documents already have quite a few DocProperty fields that seem intended for this purpose. If it's OK to use DocProperties this way, I need to toggle them. I just tried writing a macro to do this, and could not record it. Does anyone know VBA to do this?

I found the answer to my question. DocProperties are set as follows (notice there are both built-in and custom properties):

Sub SetPropertiesAcme()
With ActiveDocument
.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Company").Value = "Acme"
.CustomDocumentProperties("Product Name").Value = "Star"
.Fields.Update
End With
End Sub
