View.Type Property (Word)
Returns or sets the view type. Read/write WdViewType.
Syntax
expression .Type
expression Required. A variable that represents a View object.
Remarks
The Type property returns wdMasterView for all documents where the current view is an outline or a master document. The current view will never return wdOutlineView unless explicitly set first in code.
To check whether the current document is an outline, use the Type property and the Subdocuments collection's Count property. If the Type property returns either wdOutlineView or wdMasterView and the Count property returns zero, the document is an outline. For example:
Sub VerifyOutlineView()
With ActiveWindow.View
If .Type = wdOutlineView Or wdMasterView Then
If ActiveDocument.Subdocuments.Count = 0 Then
.
.
.
End If
End If
End With
End Sub
Example
This example switches the active window to print preview. The Type property creates a new print preview window.
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintPreview
