expression.ViewType

expression    Required. An expression that returns a TextRetrievalMode object.

Remarks

Changing the view for the TextRetrievalMode object doesn't change the display of a document on the screen. Instead, it determines which characters in the document will be included when a range is retrieved.

Example

This example sets the view for text retrieval to outline view and then displays the contents of the active document in a dialog box. Note that only the text displayed in outline view is retrieved.

Set myText = ActiveDocument.Content
myText.TextRetrievalMode.ViewType = wdOutlineView
Msgbox myText
