Application.Documents property (Word)

Syntax
expression.Documents
expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Example

Next docLoop
This example prints each open document after setting the left and right margins to 0.5 inch.
Dim docLoop As Document
For Each docLoop In Documents
With docLoop
.PageSetup.LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5)
.PageSetup.RightMargin = InchesToPoints(0.5)
.PrintOut
End With
Next docLoop
This example opens Doc.doc as a read-only document.
