Dialogs Collection Object

A collection of Dialog objects in Word. Each Dialog object represents a built-in Word dialog box.

Using the Dialogs Collection

Use the Dialogs property to return the Dialogs collection. The following example displays the number of available built-in dialog boxes.

MsgBox Dialogs.Count

You cannot create a new built-in dialog box or add one to the Dialogs collection. Use Dialogs(index), where index is the WdWordDialog constant that identifies the dialog box, to return a single Dialog object. The following example displays the built-in Open dialog box.

dlgAnswer = Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show
