Public Interface DocumentCustomProperties

Related API Members

The following members return DocumentCustomProperties objects:

• BeforeExportEventArgs.CustomProperties
• Document.CustomProperties

Remarks

Use the Document.CustomProperties property to obtain the DocumentCustomProperties object.

To get an individual document property, access it by name (use the DocumentCustomProperties.Item property).

The code below demonstrates how to create simple and linked custom properties. A linked custom property updates its value from the bookmark assigned to the property when the document is saved.

To display a property in a document, insert a DOCPROPERTY field.
