Path Property

Applies To

Description

Returns the path to the specified AddIn, Application, Dictionary, Document, FileConverter, RecentFile, Subdocument, or Template object. Read-only String.

Note The path doesn't include a trailing character — for example, C:\MSOffice). Use the PathSeparator property to add the character that separates folders and drive letters (in Windows, a backslash (\); on the Macintosh, a colon (:)). Use the Name property to return the file name without the path and use the FullName property to return the file name and the path together.
