Remarks
Use the ControlCollection methods and properties to manage controls on a Word document. For more information, see Adding Controls to Office Documents at Run Time.
To get an ControlCollection object in a document-level project, use the Controls property of the ThisDocument class in your project. To get an ControlCollection object in an application-level project, use the Controls property of a Document host item that you create programmatically at run time. For more information, see Extending Word Documents and Excel Workbooks in Application-Level Add-ins at Run Time.
The following table shows how to use ControlCollection members to perform some common tasks related to controls on documents.
