Thread: Properties of a document

    Properties of a document

    Hi there everyone

    I would like to be able to add a simple hyperlink to the properties box when you call it up (file-properties). This is so that when people save document keywords and properties, they can have immediate access to a specific taxonomy located at this hyperlink. I have had a look at custom properties in the properties menu, but I am basically having a slow-brain day...I am not even sure if this is a VBA problem, but you guys and girls are just so clever!! Any ideas?

    Hi Sam,

    I don't think you can change the built in dialogs - and you can't do much else when a dialog is displayed so I suspect the answer is no, you can't do it - at least not easily.

    Thinking aloud ... you could create your own dialog to supplement - or completely replace - the File > Properties one (viable, perhaps, if only one or two properties are ever used).
    Enjoy,
    Tony
