Subdocument Object (Word)

Represents a subdocument within a document or range. The Subdocument object is a member of the Subdocuments collection. The Subdocuments collection includes all the subdocuments in the a range or document.

Remarks

Use Subdocuments(Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single Subdocument object. The following example displays the path and file name of the first subdocument in the active document.

If ActiveDocument.Subdocuments(1).HasFile = True Then 
 MsgBox ActiveDocument.Subdocuments(1).Path & _ 
 Application.PathSeparator & _ 
 ActiveDocument.Subdocuments(1).Name 
End If

Use the AddFromFile or AddFromRange method to add a subdocument to a document. The following example adds a subdocument named "Setup.doc" at the end of the active document.

ActiveDocument.Subdocuments.Expanded = True 
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory 
Selection.InsertParagraphBefore 
ActiveDocument.Subdocuments.AddFromFile Name:="C:\Temp\Setup.doc"

The following example applies the Heading 1 style to the first paragraph in the selection and then creates a subdocument for the contents of the selection.

Selection.Paragraphs(1).Style = wdStyleHeading1 
With ActiveDocument.Subdocuments 
 .Expanded = True 
 .AddFromRange Range:=Selection.Range 
End With
