Documents Property

       

Returns a Documents collection that represents all the open documents. Read-only.

For information about returning a single member of a collection, see Returning an Object from a Collection.

Example

This example creates a new document based on the Normal template and then displays the Save As dialog box.

Documents.Add.Save

This example saves open documents that have changed since they were last saved.

Dim docLoop As Document

For Each docLoop In Documents
   If docLoop.Saved = False Then docLoop.Save
Next docLoop

This example prints each open document after setting the left and right margins to 0.5 inch.

Dim docLoop As Document

For Each docLoop In Documents
    With docLoop
        .PageSetup.LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5)
        .PageSetup.RightMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5)
        .PrintOut
    End With
Next docLoop

This example opens Doc.doc as a read-only document.

Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Files\Doc.doc", ReadOnly:=True
