>What public variable? oWord is an instance of word in the method that creates the document. What needs to happen between IF and ENDIF in that method is a way for the user to edit that document. I've come to the conclusion that this is not possible.
I was referring to you sentence "Assume that the code below is in a method of a Word automation class that has NO User Interface. An instance of Word is open and referenced by the
Public variable oWord. The document to be edited is open and ready for editing."
Sorry but for me it is possible and sent you the codes. You and I don't see it the same way, I assume I am wrong.
