Microsoft Office Forums - View Single Post - [Solved] Ensure macro operates in the right doc window

marceepoo · 10-31-2012, 05:55 PM

Assume that I am working in Word 2010, and
I have two Word documents open, Doc1 and Doc2, and
I am editing Doc1.

Sometimes, when I am working in Doc1, and I click on the button that triggers the macro below "subCurlyQuots", the macro will operate on Doc2 instead of Doc1.

How can I make sure that the macro operates on Doc1 instead of Doc2?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Marc

Code:

        .Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="CurlyQuotes99999999999999" 
        .DefaultSorting = wdSortByName 
        .ShowHidden = False 
    End With 
    Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
