Why Set Word Properties

Microsoft Office Word is the most popular and easiest tool for users designing and creating different articles. In Microsoft Office Word/Excel/PowerPoint(version 2007 or later), users are allowed to view or edit document properties easily while work on document content by using the Document Information Panel which displays at the top of your document in your Office program. The properties of a Word document usually includes details such as title, subject, keywords, created time, author name, company, category, etc. If we want to search some file, we can search based on its properties. And all these properties can be easily modified at any time.
