How to specify the SaveAs Format parameter WORD Automation

Hi,

Im wanting to use WORD automation to save a WORD doc in a different format say text or unicode etc.

I have created the files from create class from typelib etc, can create my doc etc.

But I want to specify the parameter for the format in the SaveAs method for the document object.

In the documentation it is of type wdsaveformat
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...aveformat.aspx

In the SaveAs method of the document object it is just variant and an enum of type wdsaveformat
is not present in any of the files created from the typelib.

How can I specify the format parameter for the saveas method of the document object?

Yes thats what I mean.
In fact I found a workaround.

When the files are created from the typelib another header file is also created with an extension.tlh so I got msword.tlh

This contains all the enums etc referenced.

But, if I include this file directly, get lots of compilations errors. I not need to though as within this file you can find the enumeration values you need: e.g;

enum WdSaveFormat
{
wdFormatDocument = 0,
wdFormatDocument97 = 0,
wdFormatTemplate = 1,
wdFormatTemplate97 = 1,
wdFormatText = 2,
wdFormatTextLineBreaks = 3,
wdFormatDOSText = 4,
wdFormatDOSTextLineBreaks = 5,
wdFormatRTF = 6,
wdFormatUnicodeText = 7,
wdFormatEncodedText = 7,
wdFormatHTML = 8,
wdFormatWebArchive = 9,
wdFormatFilteredHTML = 10,
wdFormatXML = 11,
wdFormatXMLDocument = 12,
wdFormatXMLDocumentMacroEnabled = 13,
wdFormatXMLTemplate = 14,
wdFormatXMLTemplateMacroEnabled = 15,
wdFormatDocumentDefault = 16,
wdFormatPDF = 17,
wdFormatXPS = 18,
wdFormatFlatXML = 19,
wdFormatFlatXMLMacroEnabled = 20,
wdFormatFlatXMLTemplate = 21,
wdFormatFlatXMLTemplateMacroEnabled = 22
};

And then in your code just create a variant object with the value you so desire: e.g.

COleVariant covUnicodeConvert((long)7);

then pass this as a parameter to the saveAs method.

Thanks
