dim strpath string
dim odoc document
dim fdialog filedialog
set fdialog = application.filedialog(msofiledialogfolderpicker)

with fdialog
    .title = "select folder , click ok"
    .allowmultiselect = false
    .initialview = msofiledialogviewlist
    if .show <> -1
        msgbox "cancelled user", , _
        "list folder contents"
        exit sub
    end if
    strpath = fdialog.selecteditems.item(1)
    if right(strpath, 1) <> "\" _
    strpath = strpath + "\"
end

if documents.count > 0
    documents.close savechanges:=wdprompttosavechanges
end if
if left(strpath, 1) = chr(34)
    strpath = mid(strpath, 2, len(strpath) - 2)
end if
strfilename = dir$(strpath & "*.doc")

while len(strfilename) <> 0
    set odoc = documents.open(strpath & strfilename)
