#1 Check in your Windows help directory for a file called VBAWrd8.hlp -- that's for Office '97. If it's not there, re-run your Office install with the custom option selected. Then, you will need to mark that you want the VBA help file installed.

#2 David Frankenbach's site (find any of his postings here and he'll have a link) has a listing of Office automation related information. So does John Harvey.

#3 Note that many (if not all) of the WordBasic commands that you _have_ to use in Office < 97 will work in Office 97, too. In fact, in VFP 5.0 there are some VBA commands that _don't_ work and you have to use the WordBasic way.

Good luck.
