OK. I have searched long and hard and wanted to know if there is an
easy/elegant/direct way to enumerate through all the DocumentProperties
and the CustomDocumentProperties for a Word document using C#.

For example say clearing all the DocumentProperties and the
CustomDocumentProperties. (using VS 2005/ VSTO)

Thanks
Holden

Easy and elegant? No... The problem is that C# requires strong typing,
and the Office application object models don't provide the document
properties except through late-binding. So C# can only pick them up
through GetType.InvokeMember. See
