Changing Advanced Document Properties
You
can use document properties—also known as metadata—to help you manage
and track files. Search tools can use the metadata to find a document
based-on your search criteria, such as title, subject, author, category,
keywords, or comments. You can create advanced custom properties to
associate more specific criteria for search tools to use. If you
associate a document property to an item in the document, the document
property updates when you change the item.
Customize Advanced Properties
Click the File tab, and then click Info.
Click the Properties button, and then click Advanced Properties.
Click the tabs to view and add information:
- General. To find out file location or size.
- Summary. To add title and author information for the document.
- Statistics. To display the number of slides, paragraphs, words and other details about the document.

Click the Custom tab.

Changing Research Options
When
you want to research a topic and use the material in a document, you can
use the Research button on the Review tab to find the information you
want directly from Word. Once you find it, you can copy and paste it

on a specific topic, you can use the Research Options command to enable
and update additional reference books and research Web sites from which
