Yes you can certainly use 2007 and 2010 with Delphi, no problem there but you need to do it yourself rather than with the Delphi wrappers.

We support Word 2007 and 2010 mail merging. So it can be done. We use late binding though, although we have used the early binding units for Word 2007 as I was proof of concepting a new feature. I use the Word 2000 unit for maximum compatibility. On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 12:50 PM, Cameron Hart <cameron.h...@flowsoftware.co.nz> wrote: > I don't think Delphi 6 supported Word 2007.
