>>>>If one embbeds a Word Document and then opens it for editing thePaper Width changes. The width varies depending on the width of thecontrol.Any solutions, suggestions to overcome this problem.ThanksSonali>For inplace editing it's a problem.>-Export file to disk.>-Open word in its own window>-Replace contents>-Erase doc.>CetinHi! Thanks for the idea. Could you pls. send me some code on how to dothis ( I'm rather new to OLE ). Also will the same code work for bothWord 6 and Word 97, or how can I detect which one is there in the system.ThanksSonali >Hi Sonali, >Idea might be good but I didn't say it's cumbersome.

> >Since used commands here work with createobject("word.basic") in versions 6.0-8.0 no need to detect version. And more it's so annoying version info is obtained differently in different versions (or someone else made appinfo$() work in both versions and I don't know how to do yet)! How would I know which one to use before I know the version is a mystery (to me) w/o using dumb workarounds such as trying to createobject("word.application") or hacking the registry. But still it's called automation. >..... Thanks for sending me the code, it was extremly usefull. I still find that if the document is embedded then the paper width changes so I plan to link them. Another small request was were can I find a help detailing the Object & Methods exposed by MS Word and MS Graph. Thanks for all the Help. Sonali
