We have something like 75 different spreadsheets
containing various studies and reports circulating in the office at
any one time. While it’s usually possible to identify each author
because of the subject, I’d like some easy way to label each file
without putting the information directly in the worksheet. Any ideas?
Every Office Suite program has a hidden
Properties section in which you can enter all kinds
of identification data. To access it, click on File ,
Properties . The opening screen that defaults is
Summary (see screenshot below).
Any data you fill out in the Properties screens always stay with the file. To add other information not listed in the Summary section, click on the Custom tab. Also, check out the Statistics page; it provides a wide range of data about the file that you might find useful.
