Can anyone please tell me how to print out the information
we've entered in the Custom Tab section of the File
Properties dialog box?  

I'm trying to convince the folks in my office that rather
than recreating the wheel by creating a lengthy auto text
header (or footer) containing things
like "Author," "Proofed by," etc., that we should use the
File Properties dialog box already built into each
document.  

I demonstrated by clicking on the "Custom" tab within the
File Properties feature, then we utilitied several of the
choices, i.e., "Checked By," "Client," "Destination," and
several other options; however, I can't seem to get
this "page" of the Properties box to print anywhere.  It
just doesn't make sense to me that the only way one could
view this data is by actually opening the document live,
rather than viewing a printout of it.

I did try clicking on the "document properties" in the
Print menu, but all that will print is the information
shown on the Summary tab.

Any other ideas?  Please email me--I'd love to hear from
you!

You can create a "page" of any document properties you choose using
DocProperty fields. Some of the document properties (Author, Title,
NumPages, NumWords, etc.) have their own dedicated fields, but they can
equally well be inserted using DocProperty fields.

I am in a similar situation and am now investigating using the custom
properties.

In the Microsoft VBA Help I found this bit of code....

CustomDocumentProperties Property Example

This example inserts a list of custom built-in properties at the end of the
active document.

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content
myRange.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
For Each prop In ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties
   With myRange
       .InsertParagraphAfter
       .InsertAfter prop.Name & "= "
       .InsertAfter prop.Value
   End With
Next

What's good about this is it lists all the used custom properties at the
end of the document which you can then print it, copy it somewhere else etc
