When you are putting together a workbook, Excel tracks quite a bit of information that it collectively refers to as workbook properties. You can view the different properties maintained by Excel by simply choosing the Properties option from the File menu.
In Word you have the option to print document properties, if you desire. There is no intrinsic way to print workbook properties in Excel. Instead, you must resort to a macro that will place the names and values of the properties into a worksheet. You can then print the worksheet and have your workbook properties available in hardcopy format.
The following VBA macro is an example of a good way to copy all the workbook properties to a worksheet that can be printed:
Public Sub WorksheetProperties() Dim p As DocumentProperty Dim iRow As Integer 'Built in Properties iRow = 1 Cells(iRow, 1).Value = "Built-in Properties" Cells(iRow, 1).Font.Bold = True iRow = iRow + 1 Worksheets(1).Activate For Each p In ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties On Error Resume Next Cells(iRow, 2).Value = p.Name 'If no value then Excel causes an error so ignore! Cells(iRow, 3).Value = p.Value iRow = iRow + 1 Next On Error GoTo 0 'Custom Properties iRow = iRow + 1 Cells(iRow, 1).Value = "Custom Properties" Cells(iRow, 1).Font.Bold = True iRow = iRow + 1 For Each p In ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties On Error Resume Next Cells(iRow, 2).Value = p.Name Cells(iRow, 3).Value = p.Value iRow = iRow + 1 Next On Error GoTo 0 End Sub
