Inserting the Subject in Your Document

Summary: One of the properties you can specify for a document is a subject. You can then use a field code to insert this subject, dynamically, into your document. This tip explains how to access the subject in your documents. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

Word keeps track of properties for a document. You can see the information maintained by Word by following one of these techniques:

  • If you are using a version of Word prior to Word 2007, choose Properties from the File menu.
  • If you are using Word 2007, click the Office button, choose Prepare, and then click Properties.

One of the pieces of information you have the opportunity to enter in these properties is the subject of your document. Once you set the subject, Word allows you to insert this information into your document by following these steps:

  1. Position the insertion point where you want the subject to appear.
  2. Choose Field from the Insert menu. Word displays the Field dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.) (To display the Field dialog box in Word 2007 select the Insert tab of the ribbon, click Quick Parts in the Text group, and then choose Field.)
  3. In the Categories list, choose Document Information. Word updates the choices in the Field Names list (right side of the dialog box).
  4. In the Field Names list choose Subject.
  5. Click on OK to close the dialog box and insert your field.
