If you have the office 97 and I think Office 95 you can find what you need by:
start word
select from tools MACROS
then VISUAL BASIC EDITOR
then from that menu select VIEW
then select Object Browser.

This will give the classes and methods and properties.
You have to dig a little farther to get the number value of propeties because VFP will not pass as words.

Like in Excel ox.SELECTION.FONT.Bold =0 is ox.SELECTION.FONT.Bold=false
