Microsoft Word property promotion to SharePoint 2007 doesn't work if field value is a number
Hi, I'm trying to promote values from a field in a Word document into a SharePoint library. I set my document up to use a Text Form Field which is tied to a Custom Property. I then created a column in the SharePoint library to match that custom property. When I upload the document, the value in the field gets promoted unless the value is all numbers. For example, if I enter "abc123" into the field, when I upload the document into SharePoint the value "abc123" gets promoted with it. If I enter "123456" into that same field, the value is blank when I upload the document into SharePoint. I see that the type for the custom property is automatically getting switched from Text to Number. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? I'm using MOSS2007 SP2 and Word 2007, but I'm saving the documents as .doc files, which is a requirement. I can't switch to .docx. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
