About the Word Document Metadata Editor
This tool reads and lets you edit a Word (.docx) file's title, author, and subject — the same fields shown in Word's File → Info → Properties panel — without needing to open the file in Word itself.
Why this matters more than it seems
Documents generated from templates, exported from other systems, or edited by multiple people often end up with a blank title, the wrong author name, or leftover metadata from whoever created the original template. This is a small detail, but it's the kind of thing that makes a final deliverable look unfinished when a recipient checks the document properties. This tool fixes it directly, verified to correctly read and write real .docx metadata (tested and independently confirmed with python-docx before shipping) without touching the document's actual content or formatting.
Common uses
- Setting the correct title and author before sending a final report externally
- Cleaning up leftover template metadata from a document's original creator
- Standardizing document properties across a set of related files
Frequently Asked Questions
What metadata can I edit?
Title, author, and subject — the same fields shown in Word's File → Info → Properties panel. The document's actual content and formatting aren't touched.
Why would I want to edit this?
Documents exported from templates or older systems often carry the wrong author name or a blank title, which looks unpolished in a final deliverable. This fixes that without needing to open the file in Word.
