The following sample macro displays the full path and file name of a subdocument in the Word status bar without opening the subdocument. Before you run the macro, open the master document and position the insertion point in the subdocument; it doesn't matter what view Word is in. Sub Main Print SelectionFileName$ End Sub The following sample macro displays a message box for each subdocument in the master document: Sub MAIN StartOfDocument On Error Goto Bye While CmpBookmarks("\Sel", "\EndOfDoc") GoToNextSubdocument MsgBox SelectionFileName$ Wend Bye: End Sub
