CoAuthor object (Word)

Represents a single co author in the document. The CoAuthor object is a member of the CoAuthors collection. The CoAuthors collection contains all the co authors in the document (authors that are actively editing the document).

Important

Documents can only be co authored on a server that supports the File Synchronization via SOAP over HTTP protocol, such as Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010.

Remarks

Use CoAuthors (index), where index is the index number to return a single CoAuthor object.

Note

When a new co author begins to edit the document, it can take up to one minute or longer for the co author to appear in the document.

Example

The following code example returns the name of the first co author in the active document.

Dim author As CoAuthor 
 
Set author = ActiveDocument.CoAuthoring.Authors(1) 
MsgBox "The name of the first co author in this document is " & author.Name
