Remarks
Sets the summary information and allows access to document statistics for the active document. In Word version 6.0, the arguments for the FileSummaryInfo statement correspond to the options in the Summary Info dialog box (File menu) and the Document Statistics dialog box (Statistics button, Summary Info command). All the arguments corresponding to the options in the Document Statistics dialog box are read-only, with the exception of .EditTime.
In Word version 7.0, this statement is included for backward compatibility. You can use the document property statements and functions to set or access summary information for the active document. For more information, see GetDocumentProperty() and SetDocumentProperty.
