Workbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties Property

Returns a DocumentProperties collection that represents all the built-in document properties for the specified workbook. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.BuiltinDocumentProperties

expression   A variable that represents a Workbook object.

Remarks

This property returns the entire collection of built-in document properties. Use the Item method to return a single member of the collection (a DocumentProperty object) by specifying either the name of the property or the collection index (as a number).

You can refer to document properties either by index value or by name. The following list shows the available built-in document property names:

Container applications aren’t required to define values for every built-in document property. If Microsoft Excel doesn’t define a value for one of the built-in document properties, reading the Value property for that document property causes an error.

Because the Item method is the default method for the DocumentProperties collection, the following statements are identical:

  BuiltinDocumentProperties.Item(1)
BuiltinDocumentProperties(1)

Use the CustomDocumentProperties property to return the collection of custom document properties.

Example

This example displays the names of the built-in document properties as a list on worksheet one.

  rw = 1
Worksheets(1).Activate
For Each p In ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties
    Cells(rw, 1).Value = p.Name
    rw = rw + 1
Next
