"Talking" to MS Word

[bryce burrows]

Hi all
Is it possible to "talk" to MS Word and ask it what documents it currently has open and which doc is currently being viewed?
also is it possible to bring into another app one of those Documents for "special" viewing
????

Regards and thanks

Hi! I haven't done what you are asking. But I read about automating
MS Office software. Try to read "RE: Excel" in this discussion.
You might get some info.

I hope that helps you a bit.

Ther is a word type lib that comes with word97 which will allow C++ programs to talk to Ms Word. The Tlb is called wb70en32.tlb.

You can view word as a continer application that allows other applications to use documents contained in that container. Go to Microsoft site an search for ms word or the .tlb file. You should get a **** load of hits that explain how to useWord server.

if your application is using Word 95 or lower, there is a library called CAPI.lib that gives C++ programs access to all the macros in word

Good luck
