Also, a for next loop from 1 to maxindex<br />
with<br />
ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocu<wbr />mentProper<wbr />ties(i)<br />
in it accesses all options<br />
<br />

<div>
i apologize for being missunderstood.<br />
i didn't mention that i would like to read the word document's prop's without <br />
activating the doc (which ofcourse make it slower).<br />
that why i can't use<br />
activedocument.buildindocu<wbr />mentproper<wbr />ties<br />
or add doc's to collection and then<br />
use documents(index).buildin..<wbr />.<br />
