Right, I have put together another archive for you that contains a class to illustrate how Word can be controlled using COM and the SWT. Here is the link on Rapidshare;
http://rapidshare.com/files/172451361/Word_Merge.rar If you unpack the archive, you should have a folder called Word Merge. In there is a file called Readme.rtf that will explain how to proceed. As I said before, you do need to be running a local copy of Word - that is one installed on your PC. If that is the case then all should be well. I downloaded your Word document and it worked perfectly well on my machine. I cannot begin to guess what the problem could be but will hold off from any further digging around until you have tried this new approach as it offers us more in terms of preserving formatting and the like. When you open the file called WordSearchReplace.java do not worry about the amount of code that seems to be there. You need to focus first on just a few lines in the main() method as the Readme.rtf file will explain. If the COM approach does work for you then I can explain how it all hangs together and it is surprisingly straightforward - the major problem will be that Microsoft change the VBA language sometimes between versions of Word and this may catch us out, hopefully not though. Good luck and I look forward to hearing from you again - hopefully with good news this time.
