Getting links from word doc

[mattw112]

I'm trying to run a test to get the links from a word document.

I've found several examples on how to create a new document, add a link then report on it, ... but haven't seen doing it with an existing document.

So trying this code:

#include <Word.au3>
$oWordApp = _WordCreate("D:\temp\Content.doc")
$oDocs = _WordDocGetCollection ($oWordApp, 0)

$oLinks = _WordDocLinkGetCollection ($oDocs)
MsgBox(0, "test", $oLinks & @CRLF & @extended & @CRLF & @error)     ; Returns 0, 1, 3

$sMsg = "Link Count = " & @extended & @CRLF
MsgBox(0, "test", $sMsg)                                            ; Shows: "Link Count = 0"

For $oLink In $oLinks
    $sMsg &= "TextToDisplay: " & $oLink.TextToDisplay & "  Address: " & $oLink.Address & @CRLF
Next
;>>> Get Error Here: "Variable must be of type object"
MsgBox(0, "test", "4")

MsgBox(64, "Links", $sMsg)

The document for now is just a word document I created (.doc) and added a single link. Text = "Hi" and link="www.yahoo.com"

But if you look at the code above you can see the error I'm seeing and the other msgbox'es I've put in.

Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

I got link count = 0 but I also got the link text and address so I dunno what's up!

I have Office 2010 on my system. My system is Windows 7 X64 would any of that matter?

I had problems with Windows 7 64 bit and Office 2010 32 bit when the AutoIt script was run for 64 bit. I changed AutoIt to run for 32 bit and everything was fine again.

That was it!!

But it is still weird that it says 0 links but then still shows me the text and address?

64-bit applications and 32-bit COM objects do not play nicely together.
