Hi Community
I have been given the task to figure out how to put the document version number, from the SharePoint document library, in the footer of all Word documents created in that library.
Is this possible?
We are using SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013.

We implemented this type of functionality a while back and it is a bit of a pain… This is because the document doesn’t have a “published” version (major) until you actually publish it. When you publish it, it cannot be edited.
I believe the appropriate route is what Karsten Pohnke noted below. Particularly the Information Management Policy approach. Also, the old approach that we used was based on Server Side Event Receivers, which you probably don’t want to use for a SharePoint 2013 solution.

Does anyone have a SharePoint 2019 solution for applying footers with metadata to all Word documents in a library? The convenient Information Management Policy Labeling feature was deprecated in SharePoint 2019.
