SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You create a column in a Microsoft SharePoint document library. For example, you create a People or Group column. Then, you select the Allow multiple selections option to configure the column to allow for multiple users. In this scenario, the column does not appear as an available document property in Microsoft Office Word 2007.

To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the Microsoft SharePoint document library.
 * 2) Click Settings, and then click Document Library Settings.
 * 3) Click the column, and then click No under Allow multiple selections.
