Hi Y'all,

Customer is switching to Word XP (Word 2002) and a macro of theirs is failing. This worked under Word 97 but somehow the syntax is not right. I have dug and dug around the help files for Word 97/Word 2002 but they are not at all helpful ie. their example bombs. I have also dug around on the MSFT site until I was fed up as could not even get a match back to a more updated example. Here is the code in short:

' add a new document and grab its name to use as a handle; this new doc is just a temp doc to paste stuff into which will later be dumped

Documents.Add
lcTempDoc = ActiveDocument.Name

' do a bunch of cutting and pasting etc and then dump the temp doc

Documents.Item(lcTempDoc).Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
