Class Conflict (Word VBA)

The class Conflict represents a conflicting edit in a co authored document. The type of a Conflict object is specified by the WdRevisionType enumeration. To use a Conflict class variable it first needs to be instantiated, for example

Dim cnf as Conflict
Set cnf = ActiveDocument.Range.Conflicts(Index:=1)

For Each

Here is an example of processing the Conflict items in a collection.

Dim cnf As Conflict
For Each cnf In ActiveDocument.Range.Conflicts
	cnf.Accept 
Next cnf

Accept

Accepts the user specified conflict change, and removes the conflict.

In a conflict, a user can choose either to keep or to reject the changes they have made to the content where the conflict exists. The Accept method keeps the changes that the user has made.

Dim conf As Conflict 
 
For Each conf In ActiveDocument.CoAuthoring.Conflicts 
    conf.Accept 
Next conf

Index

Returns a Long that represents the position of an item in a collection.

Dim lngIndex As Long
lngIndex = ActiveDocument.Range.Conflicts(1).Index

Range

Returns a Range object that represents the portion of a document that is contained in the specified object.

Dim rng As Range 
 
Set rng = ActiveDocument.CoAuthoring.Conflicts(2).Range 

Reject

Rejects the user change, removes the conflict, and accepts the server copy of the change for the conflict.

The Reject method rejects the user version of a conflict and accepts the version that is currently on the server.

Dim conf As Conflict 
 
For Each conf In ActiveDocument.CoAuthoring.Conflicts 
 conf.Reject 
Next conf

Type

Returns the WdRevisionTypefor the Conflict object. Here you can find possible values for WdRevisionType.

Dim con as Conflict 
 
For Each con in ActiveDocument.CoAuthoring.Conflicts 
 MsgBox con.Type 
Next con
