Embedding Your Phone Number in a Document

Microsoft Word is used quite extensively in corporate environments to create a wide array of documents. It is often desirable to know exactly who created a document, particularly if it has been months since a document was last reviewed. Word keeps track in the document properties of some data that can be used to help identify an author. One piece of data that could be very helpful is the phone number of the document's author. To specify a phone number, follow these steps:

1. Choose Properties from the File menu. Word displays the document's Properties dialog box.
2. Make sure the Custom tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. In the list of properties at the top of the dialog box (listed in the Name control), choose Telephone Number.
4. In the Value box, enter the phone number you want associated with the document.
5. Click on Add.
6. Click on OK.
