expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Example

The following example turns off document updating at the beginning of a mail merge subroutine and turns it back on at the end of the subroutine.

Sub MailMergeProcedure()
    ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DocumentUpdating= False

    ' Mail merge code.

   ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DocumentUpdating= True
End Sub
