Hi Cetin.

This works fine with MSWord 8 but not with MSWord 6.
I got an OLE error saying unknown name. I does not
recognise the func .appinfo(2) cause in MSWord 6 it's called
.appinfo$(2) and thats a major problem. Tried to use this but
all I get is: No parameters found. And this is cause VFP
thinks is should look for ".appinfo" in var (2) (the $ compare func).
So now I stuck.
Do you have any suggestions that might help me get around this problem?
