template programming

[rmanchu]

i need to add the following to a template i've done.

i want to check the version of Word when the template is loaded.
eg: if not word 2003 then inform, abort
eg: if word 2003 and not sp2 then give warning message and continue

i might want to check the OS as well?

how should i proceed? any pointers?

thanx

Take a look at the Application.Version and System.Version properties in VBA
Help.

According to the VBA Help topic about the Version property:

----------
This example displays the Word version number in a message box.

Msgbox "The version of Word is " & Application.Version

This example displays the version number of the operating system in a
message box.

Msgbox "The system version is " & System.Version

Application.Version and Application.Build will give you version and
information that equates to the SP.

The OS would be System.OperatingSystem together with System.Version
