Is there a way to write a Word 2010 macro that will list the current settings of all the Word Options without having to list them manually?
I noticed that application.options does not offer a .count, .item or .name method.
What I am trying to do is document a user’s settings and maybe reset them if a user tries to change a lot of things and then becomes unhappy with those changes.
In the past I used "MouseTrax Word Option Utility" which was great with 2003 and earlier. Greg Chapman went to a great deal of trouble to copy the name of each option into a macro so they could be checked one at a time. Then wrote a macro to place each item in a table with a description.
I was hoping there was a way to programmatically walk through all the options and collect the current setting.
In the long run I would like to be able to set ALL Word options and settings to a company standard whenever I setup a new computer.
Would walking through the dialogs be a way to start?
Any ideas that would give me a starting point would be great.
