Viewing File Properties
File properties, such as author name, subject, and keywords, help you manage and identify your documents. $[officename] also tracks file statistics, including the number of words and the number of pages in a document, and automatically adds the statistics as part of the file property.

To view file properties for the current document:
- Choose File - Properties.
To view file properties for a document listed in the Windows File Open dialog
- Choose File - Open.
- Select a file in the list.
- Right-click and choose Properties.
