Collaborate for free with an online version of Microsoft Word. Save documents in OneDrive. Share them with others and work together at the same time. Note: At Microsoft, your security and privacy are very important to us. To convert a Word document to PDF, we send the document over to a secure Microsoft service over the internet for conversion. The converted file is then sent back to your device immediately. The Microsoft online service doesn't store any of your file content on our servers.
Represents the Microsoft Word application. The Application object includes properties and methods that return top-level objects. For example, the ActiveDocument property returns a Document object.
Remarks
Use the Application property to return the Application object. The following example displays the user name for Word.
Many of the properties and methods that return the most common user-interface objects—such as the active document (ActiveDocument property)—can be used without the Application object qualifier. For example, instead of writing Application.ActiveDocument.PrintOut, you can write ActiveDocument.PrintOut. Properties and methods that can be used without the Application object qualifier are considered 'global.' To view the global properties and methods in the Object Browser, click <globals> at the top of the list in the Classes box. (Also see the Global object.)
