DocWindowPosTop, DocWindowPosTop()

Syntax:

DocWindowPosTop <Position> DocWindowPosTop()

The DocWindowPosTop statement positions the active document window or icon so that it is <Position> points from the upper border of the workspace. If the active document is maximized, Word cannot perform this action and generates an error. The DocWindowPosTop() function returns the vertical position in points. For an example, see the DocWindowPosLeft example.

Example:

The following sample macro returns the horizontal and vertical position of the active document:

   Sub MAIN
      horizpos - DocWindowPosLeft()
      vertpos - DocWindowPosTop()
      MsgBox "Points from left:" + Str$(horizpos) + Chr$(13) + \ 
      "Points from top:" + Str$(vertpos), "Doc Window Position"
   End Sub
