WD97: Using ExitWindows Macro Command to Exit Windows From WordLast reviewed: August 27, 1997 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYYou can use the ExitWindows macro command to exit Microsoft Windows from Microsoft Word. If you run a macro that includes the ExitWindows command, Word does NOT prompt you to save the document or global, glossary, or command changes. As a result, document modifications, glossaries, macros, and even the macro that calls the ExitWindows command can be lost if you run the ExitWindows command. To use this command within Word and be prompted to save changes made during the current session, use an AutoExit macro to exit Windows when you exit Word. The AutoExit macro runs each time you exit Word.
