I have recreated the problem reported by this bug report
using the instructions provided and get exactly the error
reported. However, after investigating of the problem I am now of the
opinion that the defect lies in Word and not in
PHP or the COM extension.
First of all the problem appears to have nothing to do with
whether the macro is in the default macro file or not. The
error has more to do with how the "macroname" parameter itself is
specified.
For a macro defined in the default macro file which has no
arguments then any of the following work without problems:
$word->Application->Run("phptest1");
$word->Application->Run("NewMacros.phptest1");
$word->Application->Run("Normal.NewMacros.phptest1");
However, for a macro with one argument then either of the
following are OK:
$word->Application->Run("phptest2","string1");
$word->Application->Run("NewMacros.phptest2", "string1");
but when the full name for the macro is specified as follows
$word->Application->Run("Normal.NewMacros.phptest2",
"string1");
then the reported exception is thrown:
btw the "scode" in the returned EXCEPINFO structure is 0x"80020003" ,
i.e specified macro not found,
but bstrSource and bstrDescription are both NULL hence the rather
unhelpful exception message produced by COM extension, i.e
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source:
Unknown Description: Unknown' in
C:\Eclipse-PHP\workspace\Testcases\COM\d39930.php:30
If I define the same macros in another macro file, e.g "AndyMacros",
then I get the same results,
So it looks like an issue when the template name is specified in the
"macroname" parametr when the macro takes
1 or more arguments, i.e a macro name of the form
"<template>.<module>.<macro>" is specified WITH arguments.
To further show this is not a PHP or COM issue I rewrote the testcase
using VB as follows:
http://www.pastebin.ca/324546
When I run this script with either of lines 18 or 19 not commented out,
i.e
word.Application.Run "Normal.NewMacros.phptest2",
"string1"
or
word.Application.Run "Normal.NewMacros.phptest3",
"string1", "string2"
then the script fails with
"C:\VBscripts\d39930.vbs(18, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error:
Object doesn't support this property or method."
As with PHP errors are only reported when the "template" is specified
in the "macroname". This suggests to me that the reported problem does
indeed lie in Word and not PHP.
Searching the web I did find this very old bug report for Word 97 from
2000 which looks like a similar issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190235.
This suggests the "template" name be removed from the macroname
argument as a workaround which ties in with
my findings above.

As promised on internals list back in December I will attempt to
resolve some of the outstanding COM defects.
I will start with this one.
