Macros - editing document properties

Anonymous

I need to update document properties fields in a large number of files in Word for Mac (16.21). Is there a way to write a macro for this? I have tried recording keystrokes without success. 

Thanks for any ideas.

    There are macros for dealing with Document Properties in Word for Windows on the MVP site. They may work as is on the Mac or may require tweaking.

    How to use a single VBA procedure to read or write both custom and built-in Document Properties

    You can find this under properties on the VBA page:

    Many macros that run on Windows versions also work on the Mac. Many do not.
