You can likely do this using the Automation interface with word. If you use the example included from the 2007 conference, you could do it that way. I have finished a new DLL for the Microsoft Script Control that was used at the conference and am writing the helpfile for it. I will likely have it done this week and will make it available thereafter. The new version will not differ significantly from the conference version that would impact any code you create, so you could soldier on with the existing conference DLL if you want. To develop the code, you should use another office application and develop the VBA code to automate Word using variants only as datatypes for objects and variables. After you develop your VBA code, change early binding to late binding and "WaLa" you can manipulate Word from RBase using the DLL and the Powerful DLCall function... I don't have a lot of spare time right now to make it work for you, but if this is within your scope of expertise, it shouldn't take much time. > Does anyone have suggestions so I can accomplish this ? > > Do I have to change any setup option in Word to accomplish this ? > > I am using the latest release of Turbo8.
