Thanks Cetin I'll have a look at this. What I'm trying to decipher is pretty simple stuff. Very few commands even have parameters and never more than one. Just figuring out that oWord.DocClose(2) means 'close without saving' was a big AhHa!

Everything still works as compiled in 1997 except on the machine that uses Word from Office XP where a strange font substitution is taking place. It seems odd because all workstations print to the same printer and this is the only one with problems. I don't know much about XP but I guess I'm about to learn. It's ironic, and probably not a coincidence, that the oldest software and the newest worstation OS are involved in the problem.
