Can’t seem to get an answer to the following and I don’t why!! There must be a workaround for this!!!!
There are occasions where I don’t want to leave a stamp on a document I send to someone else. MS Word 2002 (and probably with all variations and releases of MS Word), there are a variety of data recorded in File > Properties. Specifically, I want to automatically blank out / remove the author and company information from documents. I tried the following macro, but it simply does not work! What am I doing wrong? When I’m in macro record mode, it’s not recording my steps, keystrokes, or mouse clicks. Here it is:
tools > record new macro > “sample” >
it then went into the recording part (or so I thought)
I clicked on:
File > properties > summary > tab > tab > tab > delete (to delete the author name) > tab > tab > delete (to delete company name) > then I clicked on the OK button
I then stopped the recording process. I got completely out of word 2002, then started it up again. Went to tools > macro > macros > selected my “sample” macro > run
Then, I went into File > Properties, then clicked on the summary tab, and… you guessed it… no change!!
I’m now a bit confused as to why this isn’t working.
