Hi again...

Tamar: starting reading the book and realized you have a question dealing with the last paragraph of my original posting - so no need to answer that. Any answers to those in the 1st paragraph still appreciated.

Thanks,
Albert

>Bought your "Office automation" book quite some time ago but just now getting to use it on a live project. Has there been an update since 2000? If not, am I "safe" (or at least "fairly safe" to use the 2000 book with Word 2000 or Word 2003? I also have an article from Jan 2003 Code magazine - any other articles (VPAdvisor) that would give me a good head start that you can think of (other than reading your entire book).

>Oh and finally, just read the CODE article and it triggered a question: with so many differences between Word, Excel, and PP, my first thought was to create a common "Office" class and then subclass this to Word, Excel etc so that I would have a lot of common PEMs between them all. But if there are so many differences between the servers, maybe this would just be an exercise in frustration. If you were building classes, would you use a superclass of "Office" as a "adaptor" class and then Word and Excel as subclasses - just your opinion.
