A third group of members of the Application object are pointers to other objects.

This may first sound a bit abstract at first, but is actually quite simple: It would clutter the Application object if all properties and methods of TextMaker were attached directly to the Application method. To prevent this, groups of related properties and methods have been parceled out and placed into objects of their own. For example, PlanMaker has an Options object that lets you retrieve and set many fundamental program settings:

pm.Application.Options.CreateBackup = True

MsgBox "Overwrite mode activated? " & pm.Application.Options.Overtype
