Why do they end up in there, and how can we stop them?
As I said earlier:
Quote:
Any user can add them.
Some software adds them.
Some Add-Ins add them.
You can make the document read-only. These are not things most users see.

If you want, I can write a macro to delete ALL custom document properties.

What are you using them to do?
Again, these are not fields; they can be displayed in fields.
