WD2000: PublishObjects Property Not Supported in Microsoft Word (224714)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 2000
This article was previously published under Q224714

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Word, when you attempt to create a macro to publish a Word document to a Web folder, by using similar commands from other Microsoft Office programs (such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint), the commands are not available in Microsoft Word.

For example, in Microsoft Excel, you can use the PublishObjects property to publish a Microsoft Excel workbook to a Web folder.

NOTE: In Microsoft Excel, PublishObjects saves an item or a collection of items in a document to a Web page.

CAUSE

This functionality is by design of Microsoft Word. Word does not support the PublishObjects property in its object model.

To save a Word document to a Web folder, use the SaveAs method. For example, use macro code similar to the following example 
Sub test()
   ActiveDocument.SaveAs "http://<webservername>/test.doc", _
      FileFormat:=wdFormatHTML
End Sub
where <webservername> is the name of the Web server folder in which you want to save your Word document.
