ToolsRevisionType()

Syntax:

ToolsRevisionType()

Example:

This sample macro uses the ToolsRevisionType() function to determine whether the selection contains a revision. If so, a message box displays the date and time the selected revision was made. If the selected text

contains no revision, Word displays an appropriate message box.

To use this macro, create a new document, type text, and save it. On the Tools menu, click Revisions and click to select the Mark Revisions While Editing check box. Add more text. Save the document again. Select the revisions and run the macro.
