# Open a document that we have created and edited using Microsoft Word.
doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + 'Properties.docx')
properties = doc.built_in_document_properties
# The following built-in properties contain information regarding the creation and editing of this document.
# We can right-click this document in Windows Explorer and find
# these properties via "Properties" -> "Details" -> "Origin" category.
# Fields such as PRINTDATE and EDITTIME can display these values in the document body.
print(f'Created using {properties.name_of_application}, on {properties.created_time}')
print('Minutes spent editing:', properties.total_editing_time)
print('Date/time last printed:', properties.last_printed)
print('Template document:', properties.template)
# We can also change the values of built-in properties.
properties.company = 'Doe Ltd.'
properties.manager = 'Jane Doe'
properties.version = 5
properties.revision_number += 1
# Microsoft Word updates the following properties automatically when we save the document.
# To use these properties with Aspose.Words, we will need to set values for them manually.
properties.last_saved_by = 'John Doe'
properties.last_saved_time = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
# We can right-click this document in Windows Explorer and find these properties in "Properties" -> "Details" -> "Origin".
