Checking programatically if the worddocument is changed.

[Vineet]

Hello
I have an active x container hosting a word document.I would like to check if the end user has edited the document or not
Is there any property of word with which I can check weather a document is edited (dirty) or not
I have tried to use IsModified() but it always returns true even if the document was unmodified
Any usefull tips/hints would be appreciated
Regards
Vineet

Doc.Saved

False if changed.

Hi
I have already tried Doc.Saved but it always returns me false,even when the document was UnTouched
Is it a bug or am I doing some thing wrong
Any other ideas

There must be something else going wrong. Are you sure you're checking the
right document? To confirm how it works open an existing document, then
switch to VBA and in the immediate window type

? ActiveDocument.Saved

Now make a change to the document and try it again. Now save the document
and repeat.

Bear in mind that actions like using VBA to check custom document properties
sets .Saved to false, even if you don't actually change anything.

Doc.Saved

Not ActiveDocument.Saved ?
