Subversion Keyword Expansion in Microsoft Office Files

Assuming svn keywords property is enabled on your office files you need add the keywords in the syntax shown below

Path of file in the subversion repository $HeadURL::                         $
For the current $Revision::                                                  $
For the checkin date $Date::                                                 $
For Author $Author::                                                         $

The noticeable difference from the keywords expansion in text file is the extra spaces given after :: if you don’t give extra spaces than your file will get corrupted as during expansion the space required for expansion will not be available and hence causing corruption of files.
