This is an unfortunate result of a missmatch between three different steps:

(1) some time ago "custom properties" have been imported (import of all property
streams from Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents)
(2) Caolan's great patch identified fields referencing the "built-in" properties
(from "summary information" stream), leaving all others as "unknown".
(3) I added code that imports the "unknown" fields into custom fields - but
there is a third kind of properties: "built-in" props from Word in the "document
summary information" stream that I wasn't aware of and we will need a matching
table to import them properly (they are only identifiable by their Id in the
stream like the other "built-in" properties). The problem is that these
properties are not recognized as custom properties or built-in properties and so
the fields don't find any reference. This leads to the empty text. 

The crash happens because the dialog (IMHO) is buggy - it can't cope with an
empty listbox. Usually that doesn't happen but it's always better to be prepared
for this. Easy to fix that part. The more tricky stuff is how to make the fields
work for these properties.

That's the root cause, now I'm thinking about the solution. I have three
different ideas and currently I'm wandering which one is the best.
