I don't know what you mean by custom properties, but you may be interested in Win32::Word::Writer module which can be used to modify Word documents (Word has to be installed to use it).	[reply]

What version of MS Word? If you use the 97-2003 format, you will need to use Win32::OLE. The newer format is a zip file that contains an XML document you can process using any number of the XML modules found on CPAN.	[reply]
