"http://support.microsoft.com/directory/overview.asp" The following sample macro checks the number of open windows (CountWindows) prior to displaying the dialog box. If no document windows are open, the macro opens a new document window with ScreenUpdating turned off. When the dialog box is closed, the new document window is closed without saving changes.

  Sub MAIN Begin Dialog UserDialog 354, 258, "Preview", .dlgTest PushButton 255, 10, 88, 21, "Close", .close Text 15, 8, 151, 25, "File Preview Example:", .Text1 FilePreview 15, 58, 219, 183, .fileprev End Dialog Dim dlg As UserDialog ScreenUpdating 0 If CountWindows = 0 Then FileNewDefault ThisWindow$ = WindowName$ DocMinimize End If  x = Dialog(dlg) If ThisWindow$ <> "" Then Activate ThisWindow$ FileClose 2 End If  End Sub

Function dlgTest(identifier$, action, suppvalue) Select Case action Case 1 DlgFilePreview "fileprev", "C:\WINWORD\TEST.DOC" Case Else End Select End Function Note to Macintosh users: Use a Macintosh path in the DlgFilePreview command line, for example:

"DlgFilePreview 'fileprev', 'Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:Test Document'" For information about using a dialog function, see the "Creating Dynamic Dialog Boxes" topic in the Word 6.0 Online Help file.
