Help!
Is there an easy (or easier than manually typing them) way to populate the document properties box for a workbook with data from the workbook? Example: Cells in the workbook might contain "Author", "Keywords", "Category" and "Subject" Can that data be added to the workbook properties on saving?
Thanks for your help.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
This contains the basic ideas :-
Code:
Sub TEST()
    '------------------------------------------------------------
    '- custom property
    Dim MyProperties As DocumentProperties
    Set MyProperties = ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties
    On Error GoTo SkipNew   ' may already exist
    MyProperties.Add Name:="KeyWords", _
        LinkToContent:=False, _
        Type:=msoPropertyTypeString, _
        Value:="Key1"
SkipNew:
'--------------------------------------------------------------------
    '- change properties
    ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Author").Value = Range("B1").Value
    ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Category").Value = Range("B3").Value
    ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Subject").Value = Range("B4").Value
    '----
    ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("KeyWords").Value = Range("B2").Value
End Sub
