WordBasic Property

Returns an Automation object (Word.Basic) that includes methods for all the WordBasic statements and functions available in Word version 6.0 and Word for Windows 95. Read-only.

Remarks

In Word 2000 and later, when you open a Word version 6.0 or Word for Windows 95 template that contains WordBasic macros, the macros are automatically converted to Visual Basic modules. Each WordBasic statement and function in the macro is converted to the corresponding Word.Basic method.

For information about WordBasic statements and functions, see WordBasic Help in Word version 6.0 or Word for Windows 95.

For information about converting WordBasic to Visual Basic, see Visual Basic Equivalents for WordBasic Commands.
