Be sure to modify these default properties only when a document is open. Note that if you set default properties to desired values before creating new objects, you can streamline your scripts, eliminating the need to specify properties such as FillColor and Stroked that have analogous default properties. A document's DocumentColorSpace, Height, and Width can only be set when the document is created. Once a document is created, these properties cannot be changed. The frontmost document can be referred to as either AppRef.ActiveDocument or AppRef.Documents(1). If you close the document, you should set your document reference to Nothing to prevent your script accidentally trying to access closed documents. Example 11.1 The following example shows how to make sure a document is open before setting any of the default properties. doc.Close aiDoNotSaveChanges Set doc = Nothing 12 Aug 03
