You can create tiny functions (UDFs) to get you the information. For example:
Function author() author = ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties(3) End Function So in a worksheet =author() will display the author's name. User Defined Functions (UDFs) are very easy to install and use: 1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window 2. ALT-I ALT-M opens a fresh module 3. paste the UDF in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the UDF will be saved with it. To remove the UDF: 1. bring up the VBE window as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To learn more about UDFs and macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200742 "Foz" wrote: Can I use file information (title, subject) as fields in excel like you can in Word? |
