I am trying to organise an organisations's policies and procedures, and I would like to create a master list of the policies that would automatically show the date each policy was last amended. Is it possible to refer to another document's properties within a Word document?

  • Looking at this [MSDN](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4e0tda25.aspx) article it should be possible but would involve writing your own macros into Word or Excel. Are you comfortable with that? – Burgi Oct 27 '15 at 14:52
  • I'm fairly comfortable with macros and VB, but I'm afraid I don't see from the article you reference how to refer to the properties of another document. – Fiona Oct 27 '15 at 15:42
