The Word Object Model

At the top of the Word object model is, of course, the Application object (as with all Office application object models). Just below that is the Documents collection that contains a Document object for every open document. The Document object is central to almost everything Word can do, and a good part of this chapter will be devoted to it. Most of the other Word components you will work with are subsidiary to the Document object.

Remember that to work with an object, you must first obtain a reference to it. This may involve creating a new instance of an object, or getting a reference to an existing instance. Techniques for working with object references were presented in Chapter 4.
