Yes, Charles, I found that out. I was hoping to avoid having to use InfoPath,
but this is the second time it's come up as a solution to a problem here so I
think it's time I looked into it.
Thanks,
Sonja

I've been meaning to lob my 2 cents worth in on a couple of threads here, but
we're so flat out at work I missed most of Easter, so I'll address this one for
now. You CAN customise the document information panels in Word 2007, but not
using Word itself (of course, THAT solution is a tad obvious). If you can get
hold of a copy of Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 (or see if your IT people can)
you can modify the panes.
Cheers.
Charles Boyle

After more research I found a simple workaround that I'd like to share. It's
from WordBanter.com (http://www.wordbanter.com/showthread.php?t=136691) and was
provided by Raskol. These are his words, not mine:
1. After having created your custom document property, insert the document
property into the document, highlight and save into quick part gallery.
2. Click 'Insert' Tab, 'Quick Parts' and then 'Field...'
3. Select 'DocProperty' from the field names, then select your custom
property on the right, then click OK.
4. Highlight the item that you just inserted and select 'Quick Parts' again,
then this time select 'Save selection to Quick Part Gallery'.
That's it. you know have a Quick Part of your custom Document property, it
automatically updates when the property changes.

Hi all,
I've just created a custom document property in Word 2007, but it doesn't
display in the Document Properties Panel or in the Quick Parts - Document
Property list.
A bit of research points to needing to use SharePoint server to be able to do
it, and I really don't want to have to resort to that. Does anyone know of
another way?
(Christine, do I need to get your book?!)
Thanks,
Sonja
