Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the Document property of various objects to retrieve data about those objects, and does the following:
It adds a Document object to the Documents collection and sets several of the Document object's properties.
It gets the active window and active page, draws a rectangle on the page, and drops a master on the Document object to provide various objects to work on.
It uses the Document property to get the Document object associated with each of these other objects.
