Close Word doc from Extra

Close Word doc from Extra

Close Word doc from Extra

(OP)
The macro I run opens a Word doc and after going through a routine, it prints the doc. Then I want to close the doc (not Word, just that doc) without saving the changes. The VBA code is:

Documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

With minor differences mine would read:
 objDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges

However Extra considers everything after Close a new variable. I know that objDoc.Close works but it leaves the box to save the doc up. Any ideas how I can get Extra to recognize the command not to save changes?
 

RE: Close Word doc from Extra

Usually these text constants actually have an integer value (flag). If you hover over the text in VBA it will tell you the integer. Plug that into EB and it will likely work.

Something like this:
objdoc.close 3

It works beautifully in Word, but how do I do it in Excel?? Can't get the same thing to work there! So frustrated!

RE: Close Word doc from Extra

"oBook.close false" works for me.
