I'm working on a Word add-in that will need to save some simple
information and retrieve it later.  There will be a small number of
records, probably no more than ten, and each record will have just two
bits of information: a record number and a string.  That's it.  This
add-in's needs are way too basic to be using extensive ADO or DAO data
controls, linking them to an Access file or whatever.  

I've created pseudo databases before in regular VB 6 by using either
sequential access or random access files.  I would have no trouble in
creating a pseudo-database using these technologies.  However, each
PDB is for its own Word document.  In other words, every PDB is
information about a specific Word document, and only that document
alone.  If I used sequential access or random access files, I could
simply name the text file after its corresponding Word file.  Example:
Janis.doc has a PDB file named Janis.dat.  Just one problem.  If the
user changes a document's name, the ActiveDocument.Name command can no
longer be used to find the PDB file.  Also, there's the danger that a
user could find the PDB file and mess with it.  

I'd much rather save the PDB info in the Word document itself in a way
that the user cannot see.  It's going to be a very small amount of
data and therefore shouldn't add much to a file's size.  I noticed in
the VBA IDE under "Normal" there's something called MyDocument.  Is
this a property that every Word file has?  Can I save the info in
there somehow?  I did a keyword search of the vba news group's
archives for this, but didn't find anythings.  

I'm used to VB 6 (and RB '06) and am still kind of getting my feet wet
with VBA.  Oh, and the version I'm using is Word XP ('02).  I'm
grateful for any help offered.
