Hello All,

Recently, I have been trying to control Word 97 from Visual Foxpro 5.0 using Word as an OLE Automation Server, and I have had limited success at best in controlling the Word application.

More specifically, I have been unable to change the properties of the current selection, such as turning the Bold property on and off, or the orientation property of the current document.

I have used the following code to try changing the font to Bold:

OWord = CreateObject("word.basic.8")
OWord.FileNew()
OWord.Insert("This is the non-bolded text")
OWord.selection.font.bold = .T.
OWord.Insert("This is the bolded text")

This code bombs on the fourth line with an OLE error of "Unknown Name".

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone know a list of Word 97 Visual Basic functions that directly translate in Visual Fox 5?

Thanks in advance,

Ben Holton
