Closing Microsoft Word

[S1013]

Have a mail merge macro that after it prints, I would like to close the document & Microsoft Word. However, when Word closes, I get the window: Do you want to save the changes you made to the document? Yes, No or Cancel. Anyone know how to automatically answer this?

Hi,
try to detect the window title (could be different from the one you see)

Code: Select all

GetActiveWindow>window_title,X,Y

then

Code: Select all

MouseOver>window_title*,OK
LClick

or

Code: Select all

WaitWindowOpen>window_title
// repeat till you've reached the button to click on
Press Tab 
Press Enter

or

Code: Select all

FindWindowWithText>Do you want to save the changes you made to the document?, setfocus_flag,result_variable,check_edits_flag
// repeat till you've reached the button to click on
Press Tab
Press Enter

Check command reference for details.

Rgds,
Ernest

Hi,

I have found that the following closes Microsoft Word without causing any prompts at all. I don't think it *should*, but it does!

CloseWindow>Microsoft Word*

Or, using the new WaitWindowChanged function, you can do this:

SetFocus>Microsoft Word*
Press ALT
Press F4
Release ALT
WaitWindowChanged>0
IfWindowOpen>Microsoft Word,cancelbox
Goto>cancelled
Label>cancelbox
Send>N
Label>cancelled

What this does is initiate the close sequence by sending ALT-F4 and then waits until the active window changes. It then checks to see if the new active window is the "Microsoft Word" dialog box. If so, it sends 'N' to press the 'No' button. Done.
