I am a newbie to doing word automation. I am having trouble with the syntax for executing some of the methods. I have seen the documentation on MSDN (as discussed in other threads)

This is what I want to accomplish:


1) I have a 'base' word document. It has mostly fixed text, but some variable text. Most of the variable text is in tables. Some is embedded within a paragraph.

2) I want to copy the base document to another temp document and then open the temp document with word automation.

3) I want to write changes to the variable text and save the temp document.

4) I want to print the temp document via word automation.

I am good with steps 1,2 and 4.

How can I access and write to individual cells in the table. How can I change other variable text that is not in a table.

The online documentation on MSDN gives an example of making a document the active document:

Documents("MyDocument.doc").Activate
What is the VFP equivalent for this?

I already have:

oWord=CREATEobject("Word.Application")
lcfilename='execsum\'+'execsummain3.doc'
oWord.Visible= .t.
oDoc=oWord.Documents.Open(lcfilename)
** the above works
** next i want to activate the document, and write changes to a table cell

** the code below doesnt' work
odoc.activate("execsummain3.doc") && error ole error code 80020011 - does not *support a collection

wait wind odoc.activedoc.tables(1).cell('Row:=1', 'Column:=1')
** get activedoc is not an object (or similar)

**what should the syntax be for activating the document, writing changes to the
** table
***********************

**this works
odoc.close()
oword.quit(0)

TIA
