>>>My question involves the bolded line for TypeText. I've probably got this wrong, but reading the VB help I got the impression that := was used to pass a parameter to a function by name rather than by positon. The same code in VFP generated a syntax error.

>>>I couldn't find an equivalent in the VFP 6.0 help. I'm hoping someone here can enlighten me as to what this is and what a VFP equivalent code would be.

>>VFP doesn't support named parameters. You have to find what order the parameterlist takes, and pass the parameters in order. Fortunately the TypeText function takes only a single parameter, the Text to output.

If you installed VBA help when you installed Office, you already have the help file. In Word hit Alt-F11 to get the VBA editor. In the editor, hit F2 to get the VBA object browser. From there you can search to find the method or object in question, right click on the item in the search results, and select Help to get the syntax for using the object and command.
