Document.Close Event

  • Article
Word Developer Reference

Occurs when a document is closed.

Syntax

Private Sub expression_Close()

expression   A variable that represents a Document object.

Remarks

If the event procedure is stored in a template, the procedure will run when a new document based on that template is closed and when the template itself is closed (after being opened as a document).

For information about using events with a Document object, see Using Events with the Document Object.

Example

This example makes a backup copy of the document on a file server when the document is closed. (The procedure can be stored in the ThisDocument class module of a document or its attached template.)

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Private Sub Document_Close()
    ActiveDocument.Save
    ActiveDocument.SaveAs "\\network\backup\" & ThisDocument.Name
End Sub
