Upgrading to Word XP - document with macros

[Leo]

When I open in Wod XP document with macros that was created in 97 and try to
compile the project, I get a compile error "can't find library", because
reference to "hnormal" is missing. When I remove "hnormal" from the
references, everything works fine. The problem is that I have lots of such
documents and i'd like to automize the process. Is it possible to edit
preferences from code? Is there some oher solution? Thank you.

A better place to ask this would be one of the word.vba newsgroups; this is an
end-user group.

Theoretically, it's certainly possible to manage references via code. In
practice, it can be a bit of a hair-puller. The necessary commands are in the
VB Extensibility library (VBE). It's generally a bit difficult to access the
help, but usually, if you type ActiveDocument.VBProject then press F1 you can
get into it.
