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.

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
