Hi,
Is there a way to check if any (at least one) word document is open using vba?
Thank u.
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Maybe ...

Code:
Sub test()
    MsgBox NumDocsOpenInWord
End Sub

Function NumDocsOpenInWord() As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    NumDocsOpenInWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application").Documents.Count
End Function
