Word Automation - Updating Word Macros

[stuartmckay]

I have word automation with VFP that is using a combination of VFP calls to the word object model and running word macros. I would like to improve the functionality of the word macros so will need to write a conversion utility that will replace the existing macros with the new and improved version in each of the template documents. I am guessing that I will first need to programmically delete the existing macro, then programmically import the new macros which I have saved to .bas files using the word export function. How are other people handling this type of maintenance issue?

I had to do something like this a few years ago. There is actually an object model for doing this kind of thing, but I'd have to dig pretty deep into old code to find it. Let me know if you need me to.

I seem to recall that the relevant objects were part of the generic Office stuff, not Word-specific.
