title: Word VBA and Multiple Word Instances
body: <p>Good morning.</p>
  
  <p>I am having a problem with getting my code to find other instances of word and have hit a brick wall after much google searching.</p>
  
  <p>My Code below will find all open word documents and populate them into a combo box. </p>
  
  <p>My problem is we have applications (I have no control over these) that will open word documents in a new instance and therefore my code will not find/control these documents.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim objWordDocument As Word.Document
  Dim objWordApplication As Word.Application
  
  
  '//find all open word documents
  Set objWordApplication = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
  
  '//clear combobox
      OpenDocs.Clear
  
  '//add all open documents to combo box
  
          For Each objWordDocument In objWordApplication.Documents
  
              OpenDocs.AddItem objWordDocument.Name
  
          Next objWordDocument
  </code></pre>
