Default Value Class Returned

Each object has a value. For example, the value of a Word object is a string that may include style and font information. You can get the value of a system or application object by sending it a Get command or by simply referring to it in a script. If the Get command doesn't specify a value class for the value returned, the default value class is used. For many object classes, the default value is a reference to an object of that class type. For example, the default value of a Window object based on the definition in either Table 5-1 or Table 5-2 is a reference to a Window object. References are described in detail in References.
