In documents, you can create fields to insert information

about the current document, for example, date, time, author, and so

on.

You can define the values including author, title, and subject

in document description and directly use them to insert a field. When the description information changes, all the corresponding values in the document change too. To create fields to describe documents,

perform the following steps:
  1. Click File > Properties.
  2. On the Description tab, enter your information in the Title, Subject, Keywords, and Comments fields.
