Microsoft Word 2000

In Microsoft Word 2000 running Windows ME, once a document has been
created...
Right click > Properties > Summary > Origin > Revision Number
How do I delete this number completely?
Each time I try to change it, it will not keep the changes.

TIA!

See MS KB237361 "How to minimize metadata in Microsoft Word 2000
documents" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=237361) which should
hopefully help you here. Otherwise may I suggest you post to a newsgroup
supporting Word. I can't help you directly as I am a long standing
WordPerfect user.

Probably not the 'official' or correct answer but its the method I use here
and seems to resolve the issue. Try 'saving as' new name. Seems to reset the
revision number back to 2. Delete original and re-name the new one if
necessary.
