In Word under the File menu there is Properties section which shows things like Author, Comments, Category etc. for the file. I am looking for a way to automatically populate the Summary fields using VBA, but can't seem to find any methods available to do it.(they seem to be read only). Has anybody been able to do this or is it something that is overlooked in VBA?

Document properties is an Offise object and in office section of VBA help there is some information.
You can manipulate built-in properties (see availible list ih help):
[tt]With ActiveDocument
.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Last Print Date"
= #1/1/2003#
.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Title" = "My doc"
End With[/tt]
or add/delete custom items using CustomDocumentProperties (there is a good example in help file).
