I'm writing an architectural specification document. Each word file is named with the division number and division title:
00 00 00 Air Barriers.docx

my header has the same information in it. It looks like this:

What I would like to be able to do is reference the Division Title and Division Number (00 00 00) from the document name. [00 00 00] [Air Barriers].docx

The project Title, ref number (#0001), Issue Date (Mar 2014) should be variables that are linked to my cover page.

Is all of this possible?

A Filename field can only output a complete filename, not parts of it, and Word's field codes have no means of parsing the kinds of strings you're working with.

Look into the StyleRef Field.

You could certainly have these items as Document Properties and use Document Property fields to to reference them as well.

Otherwise, you are going to need to do some vba programming, I believe.

Edit:I have re-posted this question as a separate post

Is it possible to add a custom property that I can access when I right-click and go to properties?

It is not necessary to repost a question.

No, custom document properties cannot be read from Windows by right-clicking on an icon. Built-In properties including Title, Author, and Tags can, though. If you can adopt one or more of these for your purposes, that would work.

You can read custom document properties via macros.
