Word doc close


Recommended Posts

  • Moderators

AutoitMike,

As it clearly shows in the Help file example for _WordDocClose, the first parameter ($o_object) is the Microsoft Office Word Object returned when you use _WordCreate.

If you did not open the document using _WordDocOpen then you need to use _WordAttach to get the object value from the existing Word instance - again the Help file is your friend here with working examples for all of the commands.

I hope that helps. :)

P.S. Just in case you have not got the message - make sure you read the Help file for the command you want to use (and those commands associated with it) paying particular attention to the examples showing how to use it. :)

Sorry,

I cant seem to make it work.

I want to close an existing document named "MYdoc.doc" using the info in the title bar which is "MYDoc.doc"

I am trying the following:

Shouldn't this close it ??

_WordDocClose(_WordAttach("MYdoc.doc","title"))

This produces an error.

C:\HouseMaster\Programs\test.au3(5,50) : ERROR: _WordDocClose() called with Const or expression on ByRef-param(s).

_WordDocClose(_WordAttach("MYdoc.doc","Title"))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\Word.au3(594,102) : REF: definition of _WordDocClose().

Func _WordDocClose(ByRef $o_object, $i_SaveChanges = -2, $i_OriginalFormat = 2, $f_RouteDocument = 0)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

C:\HouseMaster\Programs\test.au3 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

OK,

I opened the example which shows how to get the collection, which I dont need.

Then I replaced the get collection with doc close.

The following works:

$WordApp = _WordAttach ("68997-MN.doc", "FileName")

If Not @error Then

$Doc = _WordDocGetCollection ($WordApp, 0)

_WordDocClose ($Doc)

EndIf

So in order to close a document, I have to use the function $Doc = _WordDocGetCollection ($WordApp, 0) ???

It seems that there must be a cleaner way.

Thanks

It should read:

#include <word.au3>
Global $oWordApp = _WordAttach("C:\temp\test.doc", "FilePath")
Global $oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection($oWordApp, 0)
_WordDocClose($oDoc)
