Application.Documents property (Word)

  • Article

Returns a Documents collection that represents all the open documents. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.Documents

expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Remarks

For information about returning a single member of a collection, see Returning an object from a collection.

Note

A document displayed in a Protected View window is not a member of the Documents collection. Instead, use the Document property of the ProtectedViewWindow object to access a document that is displayed in a Protected View window.

Example

This example creates a new document based on the Normal template and then displays the Save As dialog box.

Documents.Add.Save

This example saves open documents that have changed since they were last saved.

Dim docLoop As Document 
 
For Each docLoop In Documents 
   If docLoop.Saved = False Then docLoop.Save 
Next docLoop

This example prints each open document after setting the left and right margins to 0.5 inch.

Dim docLoop As Document 
 
For Each docLoop In Documents 
    With docLoop 
        .PageSetup.LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5) 
        .PageSetup.RightMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5) 
        .PrintOut 
    End With 
Next docLoop

This example opens Doc.doc as a read-only document.

Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Files\Doc.doc", ReadOnly:=True
