>Hello Everyone,
>
>An age old question (probably). I need to drive Word to manage some documents. I've records a macro in Word to open a document, select all the text and copy it, create a new document and paste the text in:
>
>Sub Macro1()
>'
>' Macro1 Macro
>' Macro recorded 4/11/2008 by Development
>'
> ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Empower\System\Personnel P\EMPOWER\"
>
> Documents.Open FileName:="""Applicant - Offer.doc""", ConfirmConversions:= _
> False, ReadOnly:=False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", _
> PasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="", _
> WritePasswordTemplate:="", Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, XMLTransform:=""
>
> Selection.WholeStory
> Selection.Copy
> Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument
> Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
>
>End Sub
>
>
>How would I do this in VFP after I create a Word.Application object? Any help or pointers to resources is appreciated.
