version number in office 2003?

Robert Zahm

Anyone know if it is possible to have Office 2003 print the version number
of a sharepoint document in the footer, just like it can do with the date
and page number?

Thanks,

Rob

You can create a required column in the document library named "Version"
then use this field code in Word to print the version number:

{DOCPROPERTY Version}

When users save the file to the doc library they'll be prompted for the
version -- that's not quite as nice as getting the version automatically
(which can be done programmatically, but it's kinda messy).
There might be a hack somewhere to get the owshiddenversion field into a
"public" field from the doc library, but I don't know if offhand.
