I was getting problems with MSWORD9.OLB when installed on PC's with Office 97 (illegal operations, but Ok in Office 2000), so I got MSWORD8.OLB and used this as a reference in my project instead. Now when I call up a word document through my app on a PC with office 97, Word runs ok, but it's a pure document window without any of word's menus and toolbars, and I cannot seem to get them back within that session. If I fire up Word 97 manually, I get it all ok. The reason I need the toolbars etc is that I am passing a mail-merge column header file to open and I need to access the "Insert Merge Field" button.
Is there a way to turn on Word's menus etc. when using the object library within VB ???
If not, how can I auto-insert the required field names for my merge template using VB code ????
Thanks for any ideas....
