active doc
i have used sw for about a month and am still a newbie here.
i downloaded some sample macros and am just wondering what the diff. between currentdoc and part???
set currentdoc = swapp.activedoc
set part = swapp.activedoc

the statement you are using is assigning a variable to the active document. without the code before these lines where it states dim currentdoc as ???, and dim part as ???, there is no difference.
i thought part is a predefined var. or sw keyword??? because i only saw currentdoc declared as object
public currentdoc as object

nope part should be defined too. if they are not defined they are objects, so in this case they are both identical
