Including Document Properties when Printing

Besides your text and formatting information, Word also saves other information with your documents. This "other information" is often referred to as document properties. These properties are used to identify items such as the filename, the author, dates associated with the document, and statistics such as word and character counts. (You can access document properties by choosing Properties from the File menu.)

You can instruct Word to print a page containing your document properties whenever you print your document. Simply follow these steps:

1. Click the Office button and then click Word Options. Word displays the Word Options dialog box.
2. Click Display at the left side of the dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. Make sure the Document Properties check box is selected.
4. Click on OK.

When you are actually printing and the Print dialog box is displayed, you can also change this setting by clicking on the Options button.
