Document Property

Microsoft Word Visual Basic

Returns a Document object associated with the specified pane, window, or selection. Read-only.

Example

This example displays the document name and path for the selection.

Msgbox Selection.Document.FullName
		

This example sets myDoc to the document associated with the active window. The focus is changed to the next window, and the window is split. The Activate method is used to switch back to the original document.

Set myDoc = Application.ActiveWindow.Document
If Windows.Count >= 2 Then 
    Application.ActiveWindow.Next.Activate
    Application.ActiveWindow.Split = True
    myDoc.Activate
End If
