Document properties are part of the Visual Basic Object Model for
Word.

That means they can be manipulated using using Visual Basic.

For example, the following short macro changes the title in the
Properties "Title" box to "Training Your Wombat Nicely".

Sub Wombat()

    ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Title").Value = _
"Training Your Wombat Nicely"

End Sub

The complete list of built in properties that can be manifulated
programmatically this way is listed in Word's own help file.  You
can use a related function, CustomDocumentProperties to
manipulate any custome properties defined as well.
