Hello!

Sorry for the previous post in French...

I'm wondering if it is possible with VBA to add a comment to a new document
created in with code as well.
With MsAccess, there is for each control, a property "Tag" that allows to
add any string

I unfortunately cannot add a line into one of the document's pages (even in
small and in white font) because it would change the general layout of the
document.

and because it is a new document, I cannot give it a new variable and then
set it...

Thanks for any suggestion

If it's a comment about the document as a whole, rather than about some
particular location in the document, you can add a custom document property.
It will be visible on the Custom tab of the File > Properties dialog, but
otherwise invisible. In VBA help, look up the Add method of the
CustomDocumentProperties collection.

If you don't want the comment visible even in a dialog, but still accessible
to VBA code, add a document variable. Look up the Add method of the
Variables collection.

if it could help someone, here is the syntax...

myDoc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add Name:="CommentName", Value:="coment
balabla", Type:=msoPropertyTypeString
