View SW custom properties in Windows Explorer?

    I've Googled the NG and still haven't found a satisfactory answer. Right-clicking a SW file
    gives access to SW custom props in a dialogue box, but I'd like to have a column in Win
    explorer show at least one of them, preferably "Description". That way, I can name the file
    with the Part Number "12345" and still see a verbal description "Bracket". The problem is the
    pre-defined props in Win Explorer don't match the ones is SW.

    Any new ideas on this?

    That was the problem - how completely bizarre!
    I thought perhaps it would just not show it until you'd closed the file the
    first time, but it actually disappears whenever you open the file.

    Thanks for the tip, though with these limitations, I'm not sure it's that
    useful. What I really need is Conisio......

    Thanks,
