Document object (Word)

  • Article

Represents a document. The Document object is a member of the Documents collection. The Documents collection contains all the Document objects that are currently open in Word.

Remarks

Use Documents (index), where index is the document name or index number, to return a single Document object. The following example closes the document named Report.doc without saving changes.

Documents("Report.doc").Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

The index number represents the position of the document in the Documents collection. The following example activates the first document in the Documents collection.

Documents(1).Activate

Use the ActiveDocument property to refer to the document with the focus. The following example uses the Activate method to activate the document named Document 1. The example also sets the page orientation to landscape mode and then prints the document.

Documents("Document1").Activate
ActiveDocument.PageSetup.Orientation = wdOrientLandscape
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
