    Working Backwards with form fields to update document properties in Windows

    Okay, I'm not currently looking for a working macro as such but more just a clarification if this is possible.

    At my work we use a program called 'Conisio', it lies over the top of windows as an information management tool. Within conisio you can create new documents and when you do so it comes up with a user input form or sorts, you enter the document details and it takes these and inserts them into the document, using quick parts - fields or form fields. However when using it for this you have to create documents one by one, sometimes hundreds of them.

    What I'd like to do is use a worksheet to auto populate these fields in the word file, sort of like a mail merge. But then have these values set as the document properties (like the one's i'd be entering in the user form) then have windows pick these up. Almost doing it in reverse order. Any experts with macros/windows know if this is possible or heard of anything like this? Any information or even other websites you guys can point me in would be great.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    okay, so I haven't managed to figure this out yet. But I have worked out that inside the template has custom document properties. Does anyone know how to change them? Is it anything like this
