The Properties Window

The Properties window (see Figure 3-4) displays the properties of an object and allows us to change these properties.

When a standard module is selected in the Project window, the only property that appears in the Properties window is the module’s name. However, when a document is selected in the Projects window, many of the document’s properties appear in the Properties window, as shown in Figure 3-4.

The Properties window can be used to change some of the properties of the object while no code is running—that is, at design time. Note, however, that some properties are read-only and cannot be changed. Other properties can be changed only by code, that is, at run time. Such properties generally do not appear in the Properties window.
