I am trying to do some automation in Microsoft Word 2000 using Visual
Basic, and I am stumped by a deceptively simple-looking problem.  I
want to have a subroutine copy some text out of the document and
automatically put it in the document's "comments" property.  I was
able to find a BuiltinDocumentProperties method, but this is
apparently read-only.  Is there a similar way to access these
properties that allows me to set them?

You can set this using Value.

ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyComments).Value = "My Comment"

- Hammer

Wow, I was closer than I thought.  I was using "Set" in front of that
and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.  Thanks for your help.
