MORE INFORMATION

It is not necessary to place a watch on the Me keyword in an item in a document project. The Me keyword is used in class modules to distinguish between different instances of a class. You do not need to use the Me keyword to distinguish between different items in a document project because the items are not created dynamically and the items are each identified by an unique name.
