Properties.Item

Property Item(Name As String, ID As Long) As Variant

The Item property returns the data item specified by the data name and ID.

The Item property can also be used to assign data to an object.

The Item property of the Properties collection is the default property and its reference can be omitted when accessing an item in the collection. For example, Properties.Item(MyMacroName, 5) is the same as Properties(MyMacroName, 5) — they both reference the fifth property in the collection.

 Const MyMacroName As String = "MyTestMacro" 
 With ActiveDocument 
  .Properties(MyMacroName, 1) = "My String 1" ' String 
  .Properties(MyMacroName, 2) = 1    ' Integer 
  .Properties(MyMacroName, 3) = Atn(1) * 4 ' Double 
   
  MsgBox .Properties(MyMacroName, 1) 
  MsgBox .Properties(MyMacroName, 2) 
  MsgBox .Properties(MyMacroName, 3) 
 End With
