Magnus,
Many word.basic commands work in version 6-8 so you can utilize it :
*** set the LOCALEID to English
nlLocaleId=sys(3004)		&& Save local id
=sys(3006,1033)			&& We will be sending instructions in English 
oWordDocument=createobject("word.basic") && Create word object with w.basic
with oWordDocument
	wrdVersion = .appinfo(2) && Get version
	.fileexit(2) && Exit word
endwith
wait clear
? wrdVersion
=sys(3006,val(nlLocaleId))
