Is it possible to remove built-in custom word properties?

Question

Is it possible to remove the built-in custom properties in word such as "checked by", "date completed" etc?

I want to create my own custom properties to fill in fields in the word document but I don't want to have to filter through the built-in custom properties to find the fields I want to fill in as is it likely some will be missed so therefore are looking for a way to remove these.

The delete button is greyed out so I'm guessing if this is an option then it will probably have to be done programmatically?

Thanks

You can delete custom document properties in the following way:

ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("CustomNumber").Delete

or if you need to remove all of them:

For Each prop In ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties 
 prop.Delete() 
Next
