Where to find API's for interacting with Word?

[johnk]

I have a copy of Microsoft Press &quot;Office97 Visual Basic Programmers Guide&quot; which deals with issues starting from within the MS Office products.<br>
<br>
I'm looking for an info source for how to interact with Word (and Outlook & Excel) from within VB.<br>
<br>
Thanks, JohnK

Hi JohnK!<br>
<br>
Does your book show the object model used by MSOffice? If it does, then it's mostly the same when being called from VB.<br>
<br>
You just add a reference to the MSOffice Reference Library (mine says it's version 9.0), then use it like you would any other non-visual ActiveX object.<br>
<br>
I haven't used it extensively, so I'm not an expert. What I remember from it is that the objects are a little strange in the way you have to call them.<br>
