Hi All,

I am trying to simplify the process of entering custom document property values in word. My idea is to:

• Set up at table at the beginning of the document where the user will enter in the custom document property values. See example below;
Doc. Property....................Value


Product Name .............Machine 500
Manufacturer ............Blogs Machines Ltd.

• Use Marcos to take the data entered into a cell (Machine 500) and copy it,

• Open the advanced properties menu and select the Product Name property, in the value text box paste (Machine 500), click modify and return to the document

• Select all items, (Ctrl+A) and then update all fields (F9) All custom fields/document properties should now be updated to (Machine 500)


I am new to Macros and VBA, I have made an attempt using Macros, but it doesn’t work.

Is this even the right method? Is there a better way?
Any help appreciated!
