DefaultWebOptions Object

Contains global application-level attributes used by Microsoft Word when you save a document as a Web page or open a Web page. You can return or set attributes either at the application (global) level or at the document level. (Note that attribute values can be different from one document to another, depending on the attribute value at the time the document was saved.) Document-level attribute settings override application-level attribute settings. Document-level attributes are contained in the WebOptions object.

Using the DefaultWebOptions Object

Use the DefaultWebOptions method to return the DefaultWebOptions object. The following example checks to see whether PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is allowed as an image format and sets the strImageFileType variable accordingly.

Set objAppWebOptions = Application.DefaultWebOptions
With objAppWebOptions
    If .AllowPNG = True Then
        strImageFileType = "PNG"
    Else
        strImageFileType = "JPG"
    End If
End With
