[RESOLVED] VB.NET application with late binding - add table in a Word template at bookmark pos

[AndyLD]

Hi!

I can't find a solution, so I hope to get some help on this.
I have a VB.NET application, where I create a report using a Word template, that I fill out programmatically.
While I was using early binding, everything worked fine, but now I have to switch to late binding, so the application can be used with different office versions.
Currently I get this error:

'Range' is not a by reference property.

on this code:

oTable = oDoc.Tables.Add(oDoc.Bookmarks.Item("myTableBookmark").Range, rCount + 2, colCount)

How can I place the table at a specific bookmark position in the word template using late binding in my application?

try setting the target range to an object prior to adding the table

Thank you very much, this worked perfectly:

Dim tgRange As Object
tgRange = oDoc.Bookmarks.Item("myBookmark").Range
oTable = oDoc.Tables.Add(tgRange, rCount + 2, colCount)

Besides, I could not find a reference, where all Word builtin property constants would be listed with their corresponding integer values.
As with late binding this does not work

oTable.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter

as there is no Word namespace avaliable, and the constant "WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter" is unknown, then I printed out the integer values while using early binding and now when using late binding I set the properties by their integer values like this:

 oTable.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = CInt(1)

"WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter" = 1
"WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphRight" = 2
"WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle" = 1
