  1. Open the Microsoft Office 2003 program that was used to create the file for which you want to change properties.
  2. Click File, and then click Open.
  3. In the Filename field, type in the URL of the server and the path to the file that you would like to open, and then click Open. You can enter an Internet address (such as www.example.com) or an intranet address (such as http://example).
  4. Double-click the document library (document library: A folder where a collection of files is shared and the files often use the same template. Each file in a library is associated with user-defined information that is displayed in the content listing for that library.) that contains the file with the properties you want to change.
  5. Double-click the file. The Shared Workspace pane opens. If it does not, click View, and then click Task Pane.
  6. Click the Document Information Button image tab.
  7. Change the properties in the pane as desired.
