Hi,

Seems like your having a similar problem to me. THe first thing you need to do is get the document handle to ensure you are trying to send to the correct document. You first need to get a handle on the word app then use enumchildproc to find the correct document. This is the only way to obtain a word documents handle. (certainly in word2000 anyway) hope this helps.
