DocOpen (Function)

In french: DocOuvre

Opens a Word Processing file (docx format) in Read/Write mode. The docx file is opened and locked until it is closed.

Remark: To create a docx file without using an initial file, all you have to do is create a Document variable (in this case, DocOpen is useless).

Caution: This documentation presents the last features of the Word Processing control. Make sure that all the necessary modules are updated.

Example

// Using a Document variable
d is Document
d = DocOpen("C:\Users\test\Documents\file.docx")

IF ErrorOccurred() THEN
Error(ErrorInfo())
RETURN
END

// Using a Word Processing control
DocOpen(WP_MyWP, "C:\Users\test\Documents\file.docx")

IF ErrorOccurred() THEN
Error(ErrorInfo())
RETURN
END
