What version of Word are you using? I vaguely recall an earlier thread where someone pointed out that there was a bug or problem using Word97. If this is the case and you have access to an earlier version of Word, try your code there.

I'm sure you already know, but I'll confirm the fact that there is nothing wrong with your syntax. I cut and pasted each line from your message into VFP 5 and had no problem.
