Documents.Item

Property Item(Index As Long) As Document

The Item property returns the specified document. The Item property is the default property and the reference to it can be omitted when referencing items in the collection. For example, Documents.Item(2) is the same as Documents(2) — they both reference the second document in the Documents collection.

The order of the documents in the collection represents the order in which the documents were created or opened.

The Item property returns a read-only value.


Parameters	Description
Index	Acts a preset placeholder for each document in a Documents collection, uniquely identifying each member of the collection

The following code example shows the list of open documents and the number of pages in each of them.

Sub Test() 
 Dim i As Long 
 Dim s As String 
 s = "" 
 For i = 1 To Documents.Count 
  s = s & "Document #" & i & ": " & Documents(i).Pages.Count & " 
page(s)" & vbCr 
 Next i 
 MsgBox s 
End Sub

The following code example performs the same procedure as the previous example. However, instead of using a For Next command, it uses the For Each command in Visual Basic to iterate through all documents in the collection.

Sub Test() 
 Dim d As Document 
 Dim s As String 
 s = "" 
 For Each d In Documents 
  s = s & "Document #" & d.Index & ": " & d.Pages.Count & " page(s)" 
& vbCr 
 Next d 
 MsgBox s 
End Sub
