SUMMARY

This article lists the WordBasic commands that are known to be invalid in Microsoft Binder. This list is generated using CommandValid. There may be additional invalid WordBasic commands that are not listed here.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Word is an Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application, while its document object, Microsoft Binder, is not an MDI application. This will cause "CommandValid" to show some commands as available that may not work in WordMail. If you encounter one of these commands, the message dialog box will read: 

   The <command name> command is not available because this document is
   in another application.

The following commands are valid, but their context activates Binder dialog boxes instead of Word dialog boxes. For example, when the command FileNew is used, it activates a dialog box that contains the Binder templates, not Word's templates. These commands are valid, but they may not produce the expected results within Microsoft Binder. 

   FileClose
   FileCloseAll
   FileClosePicture
   FileExit
   FileNew
   FileNewDefault
   FileOpen
   FilePageSetup
   FilePreview
   FilePrint
   FilePrintDefault
   FilePrintSetup
   FileRoutingSlip
   FileSave
   FileSaveAs
