Working with Word Document Properties


  • Subject: Working with Word Document Properties

I'm trying to write a script that will strip as much of the metadata out of a Word document as possible, and have run into a couple of snags.

1. Even though the Word (2004) dictionary shows 'get/set/delete' for 'custom document property' I am unable to actually delete any. I receive an error that the custom document property doesn't understand the delete message. Has anybody gotten this to work?

2. I can't seem to effect a change in the Revision number, Total time edited, and a couple of other standard document properties. I don't get an error when I try to modify their values, but the values don't change. Any thoughts on if this is the proper behavior?

Thanks for any guidance.
