How can I install Word 8.0 ActiveX?

[Jorge_Lalana]

I need build a application, but it use Word 8.0 ActiveX (not report toolkit, because I need read a Word document), then this ActiveX is installed when I install report generation toolkit (word and excel). If I have installed Office 97 this ActiveX not appear although Access, Excel, PowerPoint area installed.

Thanks,

Jorge.

Hi Jorge,

the ActiveX class of Ms Word 97 may not appear in the type library list of an automation refnum; you should select it manually:
- Pop-up on the automation refnum and click on Browse on the Select ActiveX class
- Click again on the browse button
- Open the MS Office folder ( where you have the .exe files)
- You should find the file Msword8.olb; select it.
This is the activeX class for Word.
Now you have access to the methods and property for Word.

Good luck,

Alberto
