  How to add custom document property?

  I cannot find any solution to do it. But I know it is possible. ***

  It is NOT possible to add to the drop-down list. It is certainly possible to add custom document properties, just not to that list.

  However, it is possible to rename the ones that are on that list fairly easily. Find "mapped content control" on this page.

  Hi dboyko,

  Based on your description, I want to tell you cannot add custom document property to the above menu.

  But your custom properties can be inserted into your documents using fields.

  First you need to know how to create custom properties in a word document. I suggest you refer to the article from this link:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/217329/

  Then you can use fields to insert the custom properties into your documents, please refer to the article from this link:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/217440/how-to-insert-built-in-and-custom-advanced-properties-into-a-word-document/

  Please check if this method works for you, any updates please let me know and I'm glad to help and follow up your reply.

  Regards,

  The document properties on that meny are built-in content controls of a certain kind, called mapped content controls. To learn more, see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/mapped_content_controls.html.
