Word 97 Automation?

[Peter Karlström]

Hi

I have a probling porting a Office 2000+ application to Word 97?

Below is a short problem description.

I Have a AutoExec macro which loads from Words Startup folder. with the
following code:

+++++++++++++++++
Public wrdApp As Word.Application
Public wrdObj As Object
Sub AutoExec()
Set wrdObj = CreateObject("OffClass.WordAddIn")
Set wrdApp = ThisDocument.Application
wrdObj.initHandler wrdApp
End Sub
+++++++++++++++++++++

The COM-component (OffClass.WordAddIn) then creates a menu and some
toolbar-buttons.
In the Office 2000+ application I use the WithEvents declaration for
Office.CommandbarButton to capture the Click-Event of the menu/button.

Is there a way to create a similar function for Word 97?

Thanks in advance

Hi =?Utf-8?B?UGV0ZXIgS2FybHN0csO2bQ==?=,

Word 97 does not and cannot support COM-Addins. Period. So no, you can't
do this with Word 97.

Hi Cindy

Actually, I found a way.

If I just added one sub for each menyoption/button in the startup template
and used the .OnAction property of the CommandBarButton object to point at
the macro-sub I got it to Work.

Thanks anyway
