Outlook 2007 WordMail Editor and Document Properties "Tim Pulley" <tpulley_at_mantech-ist_dot_com> 5/9/2007 3:44:03 PM We have an Office add-in that stores data in custom document properties. For consistency we'd like to store the data in the same location on Outlook items. While I can retrieve the document object and modify both the built-in and custom document properties, the changes are lost when I close the Outlook item. From my tests it appears that document properties are unsupported since they are not present in the item's property inspector and only a few of the built-in document properties are ever set. Is this assumption correct or have missed something? Tim

Re: Outlook 2007 WordMail Editor and Document Properties "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 5/9/2007 6:26:03 PM Use Outlook UserProperties for that or if you want them invisible to the user use PropertyAccessor to add MAPI named properties for that storage. Don't use Word properties, the Word dll used for WordMail 2007 is not a full featured subclassing of Word.exe as it was in earlier versions of WordMail. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Tim Pulley" <tpulley_at_mantech-ist_dot_com> wrote in message news:OTP3fDlkHHA.4248[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
