.Caption = "Word " & Application.Version & ": " & ActiveDocument.FullName
Do note that this shows the actual version # (eg 12.0 for Word 2007), not the marketing name. I don't think you can make the Version # appear after the 'Microsoft Word' string that appears on the title bar.

Thank you Paul for the answer.

I'm wondering why it is impossible to show the version of the Word:
1. as year version like 2007, 2010, ...
2. to appear after the 'Microsoft Word'?

Probably because Microsoft thinks users should know what Word version they're using without the need for extra prompts. After all, most versions look quite different from the others.

In this busy life, sometimes we forget the very basic issues! it is better to have all what we need very clear in front of our eyes exactly the same as what we have, for example, in the AutoCAD!

all the best

Particularly, as we take screenshots, users can't easily know which version of Word we are using! but in AutoCAD, they do!

these features are simple but very basic!
