Somehow, I have a feeling that these problems are just the beginning. The client runs a mixture of Word 2000 and Word 2003 so changes just to mollify Word 2007 in my development envrionment are inappropriate. Can Word 2000 and Word 2007 coexist? If so, what's the best way to make sure the older version of Word is used by the automation routines?

Just use the version hen you create Word object:

oWord = CREATEOBJECT([Word.Application.9])

I am not sure if the Word2000 version was 9 or 8, but you could check it.
