Subdocuments Collection Object (Word)
A collection of Subdocument objects that represent the subdocuments in a range or document.
Remarks
Use the Subdocuments property to return the Subdocuments collection. The following example expands all the subdocuments in the active document.
ActiveDocument.Subdocuments.Expanded = True
Use the AddFromFile or AddFromRange method to add a subdocument to a document. The following example adds a subdocument named "Setup.doc" at the end of the active document.
ActiveDocument.Subdocuments.Expanded = True
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.InsertParagraphBefore
ActiveDocument.Subdocuments.AddFromFile Name:="C:\Temp\Setup.doc"
The following example applies the Heading 1 style to the first paragraph in the selection and then creates a subdocument for the contents of the selection.
Selection.Paragraphs(1).Style = wdStyleHeading1
With ActiveDocument.Subdocuments
.Expanded = True
.AddFromRange Range:=Selection.Range
End With
Use Subdocuments(Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single Subdocument object. The following example displays the path and file name of the first subdocument in the active document.
If ActiveDocument.Subdocuments(1).HasFile = True Then
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Subdocuments(1).Path & _
Application.PathSeparator _
& ActiveDocument.Subdocuments(1).Name
End If
