I’m pretty convinced that Word is messed up handling whose clauses (Word 2011
at least).

I now found a really strange behavior. I have files Test 1.docx, Test 2.docx
and Test 3.docx open. And I get this with “first document”:


tell application "Microsoft Word"
        first document whose name contains "1" --> Test 2.docx
end tell

(same result with “whose name contains" “2” or “3")


And I get even stranger behavior with “every document”


tell application "Microsoft Word"
        every document whose name contains "1" --> missing value
        every document whose name contains "2" --> {document "test 2.docx"}
        every document whose name contains "3" --> {document "test 3.docx",
document "Test 3.docx"}
end tell


So I think I’ll stick with “every document” (without a whose clause) and a loop!
