Question:
How do I automate Word 7?
Answer:
You can get to any of the interfaces exposed by the word
automation server. These can be found by loading MSWORD8.OLB
into Delphi which will display the type library information.
You can also use the Application's WordBasic property to get
at the VB used in Word. The following sample demonstrates both
avenues:
implementation
uses ComObj;
{$R *.DFM}
var
V: OleVariant;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
V := CreateOleObject('Word.Application');
V.ShowMe;
V.WordBasic.FileNew;
V.WordBasic.Insert('test');
V.Run('mymac');
V.WordBasic.FileSave;
end;
end.
