Question : Display SharePoint Version in Word Documents

I have limited development skills. The solutions I have found are great if you are a developer.
I need to display the version number inside the header of 2007 documents. I have tried a label but I must be doing something wrong as the only value that will show up is what I enter in as the version - not the major or minor version automatically.

Any help would be aprreciated.

Thanks

Answer : Display SharePoint Version in Word Documents

In sharepoint, You have to add that field to that document Content Type. If It's not selected in Content Type then it can't be used as DocProperty.

Open your document template from Sharepoint and in your Header or Footer from Word do following:

1. On Quick Parts, select Field.
2. From the list of Field Names, select DocProperty
3. Click the Options button, select Version in the list of available Document Properties, and click the Add to Field button
4. click OK twice to insert the field.

This way you can retrive any info from Properties to your document.
