Because the two approaches are similar, I am not going to repeat all the background information from the previous post. Luckily, the Microsoft Word automation model and the Microsoft Excel automation model are similar enough that I was able to leverage the two days of research, trial, and experimentation that led to the previous Hey, Scripting Guy! post. Whereas, the Microsoft Word automation model is documented, the use of the interfaces from Windows PowerShell was never intended and therefore we have to use some pretty tricky procedures to obtain the information. The problem is that the process to retrieve the information is not documented. JM, if you read the Microsoft Excel metadata Hey, Scripting Guy! post I referred to earlier, you will recall that it took me two days to write the script to retrieve the metadata. invokemember(“value”,$binding::GetProperty,$null,$property,$null) Write-host -foreground blue “Value not found for $pn” invokemember(“name”,$binding::GetProperty,$null,$property,$null) $properties = $document.BuiltInDocumentProperties $application = New-Object -ComObject word.application The complete Get-WordProperties.ps1 script is seen here. If a property contains a value, the value is displayed otherwise, a note is displayed in the Windows PowerShell console that states the property does not contain a value. JM, Get-WordProperties.ps1 opens a Microsoft Word document, and inspects the built-in document properties. I absolutely love taking pictures in Sydney because of the striking architecture found there.

The ANZAC War Memorial is a beautiful art deco structure, and looking at it causes me to reminisce just a bit. I was looking through some of the pictures I took while I was in Sydney, such as the following one I took at the ANZAC War Memorial. I wrote a similar article that illustrates accessing the meta data from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet on Octo(I was in Australia when I wrote How Can I Read Microsoft Excel Metadata?). I am talking about stuff like the author, the subject, and those properties most people never know even exist for a document. I am not talking about the size and the date of the document those are file properties. Hey, Scripting Guy! I am trying to find a Windows PowerShell script that will list all the properties of a Microsoft Word document.
