Word Document to HTML

[alanio]

Hi, I'm new to VB so go easy on me. I need to write some code that opens a Word Document and then either extracts the data so that a HTML document can be created or simply resaves it as an HTML document.

I've had a quick look around the net and tried adding an Object Reference to Microsoft Word Object X.0 Library to my Project. So that I could play around with things, but immediately It was telling me the following weren't defined.

Dim objWdApp As Word.Application
Dim objWdDoc As Word.Document
Dim objwdRange As Word.Range

Could anyone either explain what kind of thing I would need to do or link me to some useful tutorial.

Muchos Gracias

Try

Dim objWdApp As Word.Application = DirectCast(CreateObject("Word.Application"), Word.Application)
Dim objWdDoc As Word.Document = DirectCast(objwdApp.Documents, Word.Document)

nope, same error. It's like it doesn't recognise them, or the reference didn't work

Type word.Application is not defined
Type word.Range is not defined
Type word.Document is not defined

It sounds like you do not have a reference set.

You did Project/Add Reference, clicked on the .COM tab, found Microsoft Word Library, selected it, and clicked OK, right?

Yup. Before I do anything else, is this what I should be using to acheive what I want ? Ie Word to HTML
