The Index parameter is defined as follows:

• For the Documents collection, Index can be a 1-based integer or the complete path and file name of the document. The file name without the path can also be specified.

• For the Shapes collection, Index can be a 1-based integer or the Object ID of the desired shape.

• For the Windows collection, Index can be a 1-based integer or the name of the window as it appears in the window caption.

• For the Layers collection, Index can be a 1-based integer or the name of the layer as it appears in the object manager.
