Create an item workflow.

I have a workflow which creates a list item when a document is uploaded into a folder.

 

The work flow grabs the filename using it for a title, creates a hyperlink to the document within the library and I have one more field I need filled out but haven't been able to figure it out.

 

Within the word doc (docx) there is a line which reads "Owner: TitleofPosition".

 

What I need is to be able to look into the document and grab the string "TitleofPosition", so I can fill the Owner field in my list.

 

Is this possible?

 

Cheers.

If you're running an enterprise license, there's a read document action that can read document control values. You'll need to make sure that the information you need to read in the document is in a content control and is named so the workflow can access the value.
