document.select

[mickymoo]

I have written a mini-named entity recogniser in VBA for Word to search and find places in the assocaited word document. How do I transfer this to a stand alone VB 5 project? VB does not like document(1).select, is there a comparable way of doing it. How can I get my VB prject to open a word document, select the entire text and then scan it?

Any help appreciated

dim oDoc as Word.document

set odoc=getobject("C:\My documents\mine.doc&quot
odoc.select ' select entire doc or try odoc.range.select
odoc.range.find.Execute FindText:="hi", ReplaceWith:="hello", Replace:=wdReplaceAll ' do S & R
odoc.save
set odoc=nothing

Great thankyou,

word.document for W97 but what is the prefix if I want to use wordpad instead?

I don't think you can automate WordPad the same way (emphasis on I)
